**Explanation:**

To solve this problem, follow these steps:
1. **Identify the initial temperature:** 
   - 14° below zero is written as -14°.
2. **Calculate the increase in temperature:** 
   - An increase of 10° means addition: -14° + 10°.
3. **Compute the new temperature:** 
   - -14° + 10° = -4°.

Therefore, the new temperature at 7 am is -4°.
