Answer

The difference in the elevation is $14779$.

Work Step by Step

The difference in elevation can be calculated by subtracting the two elevations. Since, one elevation is in opposite direction of the other. We will use the opposite of one elevation as follows: $14497-(-282)=14497+282=14779$ So, the difference in the elevation is $14779$.
