A negative elevation usually refers to the distance below sea level of a point on dry land. For example the lowest dry land on earth is the shore of the Dead Sea in Israel at -418m; that is it has a negative elevation of 418m.
Guns and canons also use elevation. Obviously if you are firing from above on a target below you will use negative elevation.

Why is travel down into the ocean written in negative number?
It is because you are going "below" sea level. It is like saying going below zero, since sea level is at zero elevation. If you were to go "below" zero, you would get a negative number, the same with going below sea level. Since you are going below 0 [elevation], you write your elevation below sea level in a negative value.
What is meant by negative gradient of a quantity?
The gradient of a quantity is the greatest rate at which it changes as you move in different directions from where you are now. If the quantity has a negative gradient, that means that the quantity decreases in that direction. A great example of a negative gradient is the elevation of the land at a point on a road that has a hill on one side and a cliff on the other side. The greatest rate at which the elevation changes is in the direction off the edge of the cliff, and it's negative in that direction.
How is a city's elevation determined?
well elevation is the distance in a particular location between the surface and where the surface of the sea would be at a 90 degree angle measurement (if up to sea level then it's a negative elevation, down to sea level it's a positive elevation). So the elevation of a city would either be the lowest or highest natural (not manmade like a building) point in the city or the average elevation of the city(i'm pretty sure it's this) or the average of the lowest and highest point in the city.
