There are some areas of land on Earth that are below sea level. Imagine you are at the 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 point)

To find your new elevation, you need to add the amount you climbed (125 feet) to your original elevation of -1,410 feet.
-1,410 feet + 125 feet = -1,285 feet
Therefore, your new elevation is -1,285 feet.
