To find the difference in elevation between Los Angeles and Death Valley, we can calculate it as follows:

  1. Elevation of Los Angeles: 330 feet
  2. Elevation of Death Valley: -282 feet

The difference in elevation is calculated by subtracting the elevation of Death Valley from the elevation of Los Angeles:

Difference in elevation = Elevation of Los Angeles - Elevation of Death Valley = 330 - (-282) = 330 + 282 = 612 feet

Therefore, the difference in elevation between Los Angeles and Death Valley is 612 feet.
