Given the statement:

You begin a hike in death Valley California and elevation of -86 m you hike to the point of elevation at 45 m.

Determine the change in elevation.

Solution:

In order to determine the change in elevation, we simply needed to subtract 45 by -86.

= 45m - (-86m)

= 45 m + 86 m

= 131 m

Final answer:

The change in elevation is 131 m.
