The process of pumping water to a higher elevation, is equivalent to what process in nature? *

Altitude may aid or diminish a pump's performance based upon the principals of specific gravity, atmospheric pressure, and oxygen deprivation.  

Specific Gravity & Atomospheric Pressure Based Upon Altitudes

Specific gravity suggests water can be pumped from less than or equal to 26 feet down when operating a pump at sea level because of atmospheric pressure.  This depth lessens as altitude increases because of decreasing atmospheric pressures. For every 1,000 feet above sea level that a centrifugal pump is operated, subtract an estimated two feet from the depth of 26 feet.  Pump operators will be well served to locate their pump as close to the source of water you are pumping as practically possible.  

Elevation Impacts To Suction Lift

Explanation:

question: ray weighs 100 kilograms, his wrestling partner, bobby, weighs 50 kilograms. if ray moves at 4 m s , how fast will bobby have to run at him to apply an equal amount of kinetic energy?

answer: 8 m/s he needs to run twice as fast to keep up so he has some work to do

explanation:   if the mass has units of kilograms and the velocity of meters per second, the kinetic energy has units of kilograms-meters squared per second squared.
