Asia contains both the highest and lowest known points on earth. Mt. Everest is a little over 29,000 feet above sea level, and the shore of the Dead Sea is about 1,370 feet below sea level. What is the approximate difference in elevation between the two points?

30,370 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Mt. Everest is a little over 29,000 feet above sea level, and the shore of the Dead Sea is about 1,370 feet below sea level.

We need to find the approximate difference in elevation between the two points.

29,000 feet is above sea level and 1,370 feet is below sea level i.e. both elevations are in opposite direction.

Difference = 29,000 - (-1,370 )

= 30,370 feet

Hence, the difference in elevation between the two points is 30,370 feet.
