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.
