PLEASE HELP

The Greenland Ice sheet contains about 3 million cubic kilometers of ice. If completely metled, this ice would release about 2.7 million cubic kilometers of water, which would spread out over Earth's approximate 339 million square kilometers of ocean surface. How much would the sea level rise?

Sagot :

  • Volume=2.7million km^3
  • Base=339milliom km^2

[tex]\\ \tt\longmapsto Volume=Base\times Height[/tex]

[tex]\\ \tt\longmapsto Height=\dfrac{Volume}{Base}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \tt\longmapsto Height=\dfrac{2.9km^3}{339km^2}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \tt\longmapsto Height=0.00079km[/tex]

[tex]\\ \tt\longmapsto Height=7.9m[/tex]

We know,

Volume:-

Base × Height

Height:-

Volume/Base

Now let's solve:-

Hgt-2.9km³/339km²

Hgt-0.00079 km

Height-7.9m

  • Therefore the sea level will rise upto 7.9 m.

Note:

Hgt means Height.
