How can you use integers to describe elevations above and below sea level?
If sea level is 0, then above sea level are positive elevations and below sea level are negative elevations.

What is the Lowest level that a stream flows into?
The lowest base level a stream may flow into is sea level in which it flows into the ocean.

Ultimate base level?
The base level of a river or stream is the lowest point to which it can flow, often referred to as the 'mouth' of the river. For large rivers, sea level is usually the base level, but a large river or lake is likewise the base level for tributary streams. All rivers and streams erode toward sea level, which is also known as the "ultimate base level." If a river is dammed, a new base level (the level of the reservoir) replaces the ultimate base level. As a result, the stream's base level is raised. Consequently, this reduces the stream's velocity, leads to deposition, and a reduction of the gradient upstream from the reservoir. A rather rare exception can be seen in the Jordan River, for which the base level is the Dead Sea, 417 m below modern sea level.
Is the beach below sea level?
if the land surrounding the sea is below sea level
What country lies below the sea level?

Which is a higher elevation 40 feet below sea level or 14 feet below sea level?

What is the opposite of below sea level?

What must result in a lower base level for rivers and streams?
The results of a lower base lever for rivers and streams is the sea level falls and the land rises. The base level is the level below which a stream cannot erode.
How does atmospheric pressure below sea level compare with it at sea level?
14.7 psi = sea level. 15.2 psi = 1671 ft below sea level
Is Belgium below sea level?
