Zeroing is the process of determining or setting where “zero” is on the scope when attached to the weapon and used by the firer. There will be manufacturing variances in the scope, and everyone holds their weapon differently. Zeroing generally entails the user firing several sets of 3-4 rounds and making adjustments on the scope so that those shot groups are in the center of the sight of the scope (zeroed)
Elevation is the practice of adjusting your aim to take into account the flight path of the bullet. Depending on range to the target, you may need to adjust your aim up or down to account for the fact that bullets travel in an arc, not a straight line, due to gravity
And, you didn’t ask, but there’s also windage. Aiming left or right due to (as the name suggests) wind.
