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 subtract the change in elevation from your starting elevation.
Starting elevation: −1,410 feet
Change in elevation: +125 feet
To find the new elevation, subtract 125 feet from -1,410 feet:
-1,410 feet - 125 feet = -1,535 feet
So, your new elevation is -1,535 feet.
