    13015.5 feet

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Juan is walking up a hill at 13034 feet above sea level

    So, Height of hill above sea level = + 13034 feet

    Base of hill is below 18.5 feet below sea level

    So, Height of hill below sea level = - 18.5 feet

    The vertical distance that the pebble fell from top = + 13034 feet - 18.5 feet = 13015.5 feet

    Hence The vertical distance that the pebble fell is 13015.5 feet
