There are many places world-wide that have land that is below sea level. I personally know of only two at the moment.
The Netherlands (formerly called Holland)
Southern Louisiana
It is generally assumed that Antarctica has no surface locations below sea level. This is because any area that is below sea level has been filled in and covered by ice. However, there is a coastal area of the rocky Vestfold Hills in coastal Antarctica which has valleys below sea level, as low as -50 meters (150 feet). (These mountains are south of the Indian Ocean, due south of westernmost India.)
Antarctica is the only continent that does not have any land areas below sea level.
The country that is mostly below sea level is the Netherlands. About 26% of the country's land is below sea level, with its lowest point reaching 22 feet below sea level. The Dutch have built an extensive system of dams, levees, and pumps to protect their land from flooding.
I know that the dead sea is below sea level
About a quarter of the Netherlands is located below sea level, specifically about 26% of the country's total area is below sea level. This low-lying land is mainly due to extensive land reclamation efforts and the presence of dikes and other flood control measures.
Yes, Death Valley, California is 282 feet below sea level.
beacause there is a big instance that below sea level area will experience floods
if the land surrounding the sea is below sea level
It is generally assumed that Antarctica has no surface locations below sea level. This is because any area that is below sea level has been filled in and covered by ice. However, there is a coastal area of the rocky Vestfold Hills in coastal Antarctica which has valleys below sea level, as low as -50 meters (150 feet).

The country often referred to as the "Land Below Sea Level" is the Netherlands. A significant portion of its land lies below sea level, protected by an extensive system of dikes and drainage systems. This unique geographic feature is a result of the country's battle against flooding from the North Sea and its efforts to reclaim land through poldering. The most notable area below sea level is the Zuidplaspolder, which is the lowest point in the country.
Antarctica is the only continent that does not have any land areas below sea level.
Most of the continent is above sea level. However, under the polar ice sheet there is land that is below sea level.
The country that is mostly below sea level is the Netherlands. About 26% of the country's land is below sea level, with its lowest point reaching 22 feet below sea level. The Dutch have built an extensive system of dams, levees, and pumps to protect their land from flooding.
he North Sea and land below sea level
A lowland is an area of land that is low in relation to the surrounding area. They are normally at, near, or below sea level.
