The Channel Tunnel, in England, is 250 feet below sea level at its deepest point. The Eurasia Tunnel, in Turkey, is 348 feet below sea level at its deepest point.

Question

How much higher is the deepest point in the Channel Tunnel than the deepest point in the Eurasia Tunnel?
feet

Answer 1

To find out how much higher the deepest point in the Channel Tunnel is than the deepest point in the Eurasia Tunnel, we can subtract the depth of the Channel Tunnel from the depth of the Eurasia Tunnel.

1. Depth of the Channel Tunnel: 250 feet below sea level
2. Depth of the Eurasia Tunnel: 348 feet below sea level

To find the difference:

\( 348 \text{ feet} - 250 \text{ feet} = 98 \text{ feet} \)

Since both are below sea level, Channel Tunnel is actually 98 feet higher than the Eurasia Tunnel.

So, the deepest point in the Channel Tunnel is 98 feet higher than the deepest point in the Eurasia Tunnel.
