How it's used
Focuses specifically on the quantitative degree of a rise, making it common in financial reporting and economic discussions. It is rarely used to describe physical movement or height, where words like 高度 or 升起 are more appropriate. When discussing percentages or indices, it acts as a formal yet standard way to quantify growth.

Common mistake
Avoid using it to describe the act of rising itself, as it strictly refers to the magnitude or rate of the increase rather than the action of going up.
