This document defines angles of elevation and depression. It states that an angle is formed by rotating a ray around its endpoint and that the angle of depression is the acute angle formed between a downward ray and horizontal ray from a higher point to a lower point, while the angle of elevation is the acute angle formed between an upward ray and horizontal ray from a lower point to a higher point.
