The difference in elevation between Mt. Everest and the Dead Sea can be calculated by adding the height of Mt. Everest (29,029 feet) to the depth of the Dead Sea (1,411 feet) and then getting the absolute value of the result:
29,029 feet + 1,411 feet = 30,440 feet
Therefore, the correct answer is:
D) 30,440 feet
