Does running uphill burn more calories then running on flat land?

Runner’s Question: If you set the elevation on your treadmill higher, or run up hills in the neighborhood, will it burn more calories than just running on flat ground?

Is it a better work out to just run up elevated land? (Like if you would set your treadmill to a high elevation)

Thanks!
