Questions & Answers about Перепад высот указан в треке.

What does перепад высот mean literally, and how is it built?

Literally, перепад высот means something like difference in heights or change in elevation.

It is made of:

• перепад — a drop, difference, change, variation
• высот — of heights, the genitive plural of высота (height, altitude)

So the structure is:

• перепад + genitive plural noun

This is a very common Russian pattern, where one noun is followed by another noun in the genitive to show what kind of difference/change it is.

In natural English, this phrase is often translated as:

• elevation change
• elevation difference
• sometimes altitude difference

depending on context.
