Which continent has the highest elevation and lowest?

There is no data available for "average elevations of continents" except that Antarctica, with its deep ice cap, has the highest overall elevation. This would not be the case if considering the underlying land surface. Of the 7 classic continents, Australia (proper) may have the lowest elevation because it has fewer tall mountain ranges than Europe or the Americas.Asia has the lowest and highest points on earth, the Dead Sea on Israel/Jordan border is the lowest and the highest is Mount Everest, Nepal/China

What country does NOT have land with elevations 1000ft?

There are, in fact, a number of countries whose highest points are less than 1000 ft below sea level. The lowest is the Indian Ocean archipelago of the Maldives, its highest point only 7 ft above sea level, and potentially at risk of total submerging due to rising sea levels. Also with high points lower than 1000 feet are (from lowest to highest): Tuvalu, Marshall Islands, the Gambia, the Bahamas, Nauru, Vatican City, Kiribati, Qatar, Bahrain, Monaco, Singapore, Denmark, Palau, Malta, Lithuania, and Guinea-Bissau. Most of these countries are flat island nations, and the remainder are flat coastal areas with evidently few hills or mountainous regions, or micro-nations so small that a sizeable hill simply would not fit in the country's borders.
