Yes, but its destination will not be the open sea, but a basin below sea level.
The lowest elevation limiting stream erosion is called the base level. It refers to the point at which a stream can no longer erode its bed any lower. This can be either sea level for rivers that flow into the ocean or a lake level for rivers that flow into a lake.
40 feet below sea level is at a higher elevation than 14 feet below sea level. Elevation is measured by the distance above or below a reference point, such as sea level, so the higher the number below sea level, the lower the elevation.
below sea level. Yes - I know, so obvious XD
Positive integers can represent elevations above sea level, while negative integers can represent elevations below sea level. For example, an elevation of 500 meters above sea level can be represented by the integer +500, while an elevation of -200 meters below sea level can be represented by the integer -200.
No, Honolulu is not below sea level. It is located on the island of Oahu in Hawaii and sits at an average elevation of about 5 feet above sea level.
The lowest base level a stream may flow into is sea level in which it flows into the ocean.
No. If it was below sea level, the Mediterranean would flow into it.
No. If it was below sea level, the Mediterranean would flow into it.

The lowest elevation to which a stream can downcut is known as the base level, which is typically defined by the level of the body of water into which the stream flows, such as a lake or the ocean. If the stream enters a lake, the lake level serves as the base level, while for rivers flowing into the ocean, sea level acts as the base level. Streams can downcut to this level but cannot erode below it. Changes in base level, such as tectonic uplift or sea level fluctuations, can affect a stream's erosion potential.
The maximum depth to which a stream can erode is called the "base level." Base level is the lowest point to which a stream can flow, typically determined by factors such as sea level or the level of a lake. When a stream reaches its base level, it can no longer erode its bed further, leading to a reduction in its energy and often resulting in sediment deposition.
40 feet below sea level is at a higher elevation than 14 feet below sea level. Elevation is measured by the distance above or below a reference point, such as sea level, so the higher the number below sea level, the lower the elevation.
The Dead Sea is at an altitude of 423m below sea level.add The Salton Sea in US is 69m below seal level.
if the land surrounding the sea is below sea level
above sea level
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.
Most parts of the Netherlands are below sea level / below the water level of the rivers that flow through the country. If there were no dams and dykes, those lands would be flooded.
