mountain in the world is Mauna Loa, in Hawai'i, Mauna Loa rises 4, 170 meters from sea level to the top of the

summit, but its base is deep under water. The base of the mountain is at -5,000 meters,

Answer: 10000

A.) 4170m above sea level ;3330m below sea level

B) 1670 m from the base.

Step-by-step explanation:.

Given that:

Mauna Loa :

4,170 meters (from sea level to summit)

-5000 meters (base of mountain to sea level)

Depth of probe dropped from summit of Mauna Loa = 7500 m

Height of probe relative to sea level :

Depth of probe - height of Mauna Loa(from sea level to summit)

7500 m - 4170 m = 3330 m

Hence, height of probe relative to sea level :

4170m above sea level

3330m below sea level

Distance of probe from base of volcano:

Total depth of Mauna Loa = (4170 + 5000) = 9170m

Total depth of probe = 7500 m

Distance of probe from base :

9170 - 7500 = 1670 m

The probe is 1670 m from the base of the volcano.
