1854
2285

bolivia
90
6542

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate difference for China

The formula for difference is \( \text{Difference}=\text{Highest Elevation}-\text{Lowest Elevation} \).
For China, \( 8849-(-154)=8849 + 154\)
$$8849+154 = 9003$$

Step2: Calculate lowest elevation for Jordan

Using the formula \( \text{Difference}=\text{Highest Elevation}-\text{Lowest Elevation} \), we can rewrite it as \( \text{Lowest Elevation}=\text{Highest Elevation}-\text{Difference} \)
For Jordan, \(1854 - 2285=-431\)

Step3: Calculate difference for Bolivia

Using the formula \( \text{Difference}=\text{Highest Elevation}-\text{Lowest Elevation} \)
For Bolivia, \(6542 - 90=6452\)

Answer:

Country	Lowest Elevation (m)	Highest Elevation (m)	Difference (m)
Kazakhstan	\(-132\)	\(7010\)	\(7142\)
Jordan	\(-431\)	\(1854\)	\(2285\)
Bolivia	\(90\)	\(6542\)	\(6452\)
