There are some areas of land on the earth that are below sea level.imagine you are at Dead Sea in Africa, which has an elevation of about -1,410 feet (1,410 feet below sea level). You then climb up 125 feet. What is your new elevation?

1 answer

If you start at the Dead Sea, which has an elevation of -1,410 feet (1,410 feet below sea level), and you climb up 125 feet, you can calculate your new elevation as follows:

\[ -1,410 \text{ feet} + 125 \text{ feet} = -1,285 \text{ feet} \]

So, your new elevation would be -1,285 feet (1,285 feet below sea level).
