4b. The elevation of Rogers Pass.

This is the least accurate. This is because when we calculate the elevation of the Rogers Pass we found that it has  1330 meters. When converted to feet it has 4363.73 feet (Holtmeier & Broll, 2018). When compared to the elevation of Ursus Major Mountain, it has 2,705 meters which are estimated to be 8875.10 feet. Now when the two values are rounded off to the nearest whole number there comes a difference.

For Rogers Pass when converted it changes from 4363.73 to 4364 feet having a decimal difference of 0.27 feet (Owen & Pagano, 2021). Similarly, when the feet of  Ursus Major are converted from 8875.10 to the nearest whole number it becomes 8875 feet. Thereby having a decimal difference of 0.10 feet. Now when we compare the two estimates we can come to a point of certification that the elevation of Rogers Pass is the least accurate because it has a greater decimal difference than the one of Ursus Major  ( Massey & Levi, 2021).
