Question

A fish is 12 meters below the surface of the ocean. What is its elevation?

Answer:

-12 m

The elevation of an object is the height or depth of the object relative to the sea level. If the object is above the see level, its elevation will be positive. However, if the object is below the sea level, its elevation will be negative. Therefore, we can conclude that the elevation of the fish is -12 m because it is below sea level.
