Question

Sea level is the average level of the sea between high and low tide. It is used as a reference point for measuring elevation, or height and depth, on Earth. Some places lie above sea level, while others lie below sea level. The lowest point in New Orleans is 8 feet below sea level. You can represent that numerically using . The highest point in Chicago is 735 feet above sea level. You can represent that numerically using .

Answer 1

Answer:

-8 and 735

Explanation:

Since the sea is a body of water (fluid) it takes the same properties as a fluid does which means filling an area and finding a leveled point. This is why we use the sea as a starting elevation point for Earth's land and it is given a numerical value of 0. Since it starts at 0 any land above Sea Level is in the positives while land below Sea Level is in the negatives. Therefore Since New Orleans is 8 feet below sea level its numerical value elevation is -8. The highest point in Chicago is 735 feet above sea level which makes its numerical value 735
