A mountain climber on Mt. Everest is at 29,035 ft above sea level. A stone at the bottom of the Dead Sea is at 1,349 ft below sea level. What is the difference in elevation between the mountain climber and the stone?
The difference in elevation between the mountain climber and the stone can be found by adding their elevations:
29,035 ft + (-1,349 ft) = 27,686 ft
Therefore, the difference in elevation between the mountain climber and the stone is 27,686 feet.
