Answer:

9 metres

Explanation:

Elevation is the rise in height from a certain reference point.

Given in the question

distance moved upward = 72 meters (here we can say that its elevation is 72 meters from a point at which team started moving upward

time taken = 8 second

In 8 second the team moved 72 meters

dividing both side by 8 (i.e time and distance)

In 8/8 second team moved 72/8 meters

In 1 second the team moved 9 meters.

Since in question it is given that team moves upward at constant rate hence each second they must traveled 9 meters which happens to be elevation each second for team.
