I've had a lot of luck getting information from www.ask.com.

I just went there and typed in "what is the elevation of karachi?". Not all of the links they give you will be appropriate, but some of them nearly always are. The answer was:

Statistics for PAK_Karachi_IWEC
Location -- KARACHI PAK
{N 24° 53'} {E 67° 7'} {GMT +5.0 Hours}
Elevation -- 22m above sea level
Standard Pressure at Elevation -- 101061Pa
Data Source -- IWEC Data

Do that 11 more times and you'll have your answer.

Lake Eyre itself, at 15 metres below sea level, is Australia's lowest point. It is also the fifth largest (9,690 square kilometres) terminal lake in the world although it usually contains little or no water.

Azerbaijan's ancient capital, founded 1,500 years ago, has nice beaches, spas and a striking setting on the salty Caspian Sea (the world's largest inland body of water). Once one of the Roman Empire's easternmost cities, Baku is 55 ft/17 m below sea level (the Caspian Sea lies below sea level)

I wonder whether that is true. For what I know, it is part of a contest with a money price.

Thanks for the great team effort guys !! yes it is part of a competition but I certainly wont win a money prize because I didn't complete all... the questions and to win the money you have to complete all of them. Well yes you could ask people for the answers... you are allowed to do that !! and you were also able to work as a group to get the answers well I worked as an individual anyway thank you all for your help your all stars !!!
