1 answer
To find the elevation of base camp, you can subtract the descent from Helene's starting elevation.
Starting elevation: 33 feet above sea level
Descent: 46 feet
So, the calculation is:
33 feet - 46 feet = -13 feet
This means that base camp is 13 feet below sea level.
The correct response is 13 feet below sea level.
