What this measurement describes
The selected measurement is vertical relative to a defined base or reference level.

Mont Blanc
≈4.807 kmThe Alps’ highest summit, whose snow-and-ice cap makes the measured altitude vary between surveys.
WonderIts published summit altitude changes as the ice cap and weather reshape the top.

The number keeps its meaning.
How certain is the boundary?
The physical boundary or individual size can change. Vastoscope uses a documented reference value to make comparison possible.
What the engine actually divides
Vastoscope compares the SI value in metres for this surveyed summit altitude. A ratio is mathematically valid as a linear span, while the interface identifies when the two selected definitions differ.

Evidence trail
Where this scale comes from.
Vastoscope keeps the displayed number separate from its measurement type and certainty. Representative and model-dependent values are intentionally labelled instead of presented as exact edges.
