Answer:

After 2000 years, the first after will be 4m lower.

After 2000 years, the second area will be 14m higher.

Explanation:

From the given information:

At the first area:

if the wind is eroding at 2 mm/year, then after 2000 years; we have:

2 mm/year × 2000 year = 4000 mm

4000 mm to meters, we have:

[tex]=4000 \ mm \times \dfrac{1 \ m}{ 1000 \ mm}[/tex]

= 4 m lower

At the second smaller area:

Given that the wind is depositing it at the rate of 7 mm per year;

Then:

7 mm/year × 2000 year = 14000 mm

[tex]=14000 \ mm \times \dfrac{1 \ m}{ 1000 \ mm}[/tex]

=14 m higher
