To determine vertical movements of the earth crust, a kinematic processing model was developed by repeatedly levelling measured heights of the earths surface. From this model, applying a free adjustment , the primary vertical displacement is measured as rates of the height changes and annual velocities can be so obtained. In addition, other characteristics for the height movements and the deformed topographic surface in the measured region should be derived. The visualisation of the movement and deformation characteristics using convenient map forms are considered useful.
