These are tropes that all have to do with height. Compiling this list was a tall order, but we made short work of it.
A One Head Taller indeed, or Huge Guy, Tiny Girl, also invoked here.
See also Bigger Is Better, Length Tropes, and Tiny Tropes for other tropes about size. For aerial heights and distances, see Dangerous Heights.
