/**
 * Specifies how altitude components in the  element are
 * interpreted. Possible values are
 *
 * - clampToGround - (default) Indicates to ignore an altitude specification
 * (for example, in the  tag).
 *
 * - relativeToGround - Sets the altitude of the element relative to the actual
 * ground elevation of a particular location. For example, if the ground
 * elevation of a location is exactly at sea level and the altitude for a point
 * is set to 9 meters, then the elevation for the icon of a point placemark
 * elevation is 9 meters with this mode. However, if the same coordinate is set
 * over a location where the ground elevation is 10 meters above sea level, then
 * the elevation of the coordinate is 19 meters. A typical use of this mode is
 * for placing telephone poles or a ski lift.
 *
 * - absolute - Sets the altitude of the coordinate relative to sea level,
 * regardless of the actual elevation of the terrain beneath the element. For
 * example, if you set the altitude of a coordinate to 10 meters with an
 * absolute altitude mode, the icon of a point placemark will appear to be at
 * ground level if the terrain beneath is also 10 meters above sea level. If the
 * terrain is 3 meters above sea level, the placemark will appear elevated above
 * the terrain by 7 meters. A typical use of this mode is for aircraft
 * placement.
