The Cayman trough has an elevation of $-7\frac{7}{10}$ kilometers. The Mariana trench has an elevation of $-10\frac{9}{10}$ kilometers. Note that both places have negative elevations because they are below sea level. Drag the white cards onto the gray rectangle to write an inequality that correctly compares the elevations. $-10\frac{9}{10}$ $-7\frac{7}{10}$ < Which one of the following descriptions is correct? Choose 1 answer. A The Cayman trough has a lower elevation than the Mariana trench The Mariana trench has a lower elevation than the Cayman trough

This topographical map has contour lines 5 ft of elevation (height above sea level) apart; the numbers on the thicker lines are elevations in feet. What is the difference in elevation between the two marked points? Point II is 45 ft lower. Point II is 10 ft lower. Point II is 10 ft higher. Point II is 45 ft higher.
