    Answer:

    False

    Step-by-step explanation:

    At sea level, elevation is 0. This means that we can portray sea level as being the midpoint of distances below sea level and distances above sea level.

    Thus, a distance of 1 m below sea level = – 1 is equivalent to a distance of 1 m above sea level albeit in opposite directions.

    Hence, an elevation of 15m above sea level is greater in distance Than an elevation of – 10 m below sea level because the absolute value of 15 is greater than the absolute value of 10.

    |15 – 0|= 15

    |-10 – 0| = 10

    Hence, elevation of – 10 below Sea level is closer to sea level than elevation of 15 above sea level
