#'Altitudes
#'
#'
#'Elevation data for the North Andes Block with a resolution of 0.1 decimal degrees.
#'Three columns decimalLongitude, decimalLatitude and elevation. The North
#'Andes Block was divided each 0.1 decimal degree, the elevations associated to
#'each 0.1 decimal degree were extracted using the \code{\link{elevFromGg}}
#'function. This elevation was downloaded from The Google Maps Elevation API [1] and was used for the example in R-Alarcon and Miranda-Esquivel (submitted) [2].
