The Greenland Ice sheet contains about 3 million cubic kilometers of ice. If completely melted, 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?

Answer:

  • 7.96 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume formula:

  • V = bh

We have:

  • V = 2.7 million km³
  • b = 339 million km²

Find h:

  • h = V/b
  • h = 2.7 / 339 = 0.00796460176 km ≈  7.96 m
  • 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]
