Why would a clock positioned at about one and a half kilometres above sea level gain time in a year compared to an exact replica clock situated at 85 feet above sea level? In what two cities was there an example of this?

I only have a conjecture. If the meso or thermospehere is located one and a half kilometers above sea level, I'd say these temperatures may tamper with the clocks energy source. But then, the clock would probably be destroyed if it were in the meso or thermosphere so, uh whatever. Mar 30 06, 9:30 PM

On October 14, 1947, General Chuck Yeager was the first person to break the sound barrier in an airplane. Before he did this, he flew up to 43,000 feet above sea level. He went to this high altitude for two reasons, what were they? Which city's subway is some two thousand metres above sea level? Which Canadian city is highest above sea level? In Canada, what city is the highest above sea level?
