Detailed explanation-1: -Controversy over the exact elevation of the summit developed because of variations in snow level, gravity deviation, and light refraction. The figure 29, 028 feet (8, 848 metres), plus or minus a fraction, was established by the Survey of India between 1952 and 1954 and became widely accepted.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: We are given the elevation of Mount Everest, which is hE=29, 028 ft h E = 29, 028 f t above sea level and the elevation of the Dead Sea, which is hD=1, 312 ft h D = 1, 312 f t below sea level.
Detailed explanation-3: -Mount Everest is the highest of the Himalayan mountains, and-at 8, 850 meters (29, 035 feet)-is considered the highest point on Earth. Mount Everest is a peak in the Himalaya mountain range. It is located between Nepal and Tibet, an autonomous region of China.
Detailed explanation-4: -To find the difference between these two elevations, we should add the two figures i.e. 29, 028+1, 312=30, 340 feet.
