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)

−1,535 feet
Your new elevation would be -1,285 feet.
To find your new elevation after climbing up 125 feet from an elevation of -1,410 feet, you need to add the climb of 125 feet to the current elevation.
-1,410 feet + 125 feet = -1,285 feet
So, your new elevation is negative 1,285 feet.
