The change is elevation is 98 feet.

There are a couple different ways to get this answer. You could:
A. Subtract 127 from (positive) 225, to get the height difference. Or...
B. Subtract the starting height from the ending height (-127 - (-225)) which would also give you the height difference.

I hope this helps!
