How can something on land be measured as below sea level?

Something on land can be measured as below sea level when its elevation is lower than the average level of the world's oceans. This can be determined using a reference point, such as sea level, to calculate the vertical distance below it. Topographic maps and GPS technology are commonly used to measure elevations above and below sea level.

How we can calculate height of a place from sea level?

The height of a place from sea level can be calculated using a device called an altimeter, which measures the atmospheric pressure. By comparing the atmospheric pressure at the location with the standard atmospheric pressure at sea level, the height above sea level can be determined. GPS receivers can also provide accurate altitude information by using satellite signals.
