Question

The Greenland ice sheet contains about 3,000,000 km^3 of ice. If completely melted, the ice would release about 2.1 million kilometers of water, which would spread out over Earth approximately 345,000,000 km^2 of the ocean surface. How much would the sea level rise and round it to the third decimal place?

Step 1

Volume of melted ice = 2.1 million km^3 = 2.1 x 10^6 km^3 Surface area of the ocean = 345,000,000 km^2 = 3.45 x 10^8 km^2 Sea level rise = Volume of melted ice / Surface area of the ocean Sea level rise = (2.1 x 10^6 km^3) / (3.45 x 10^8 km^2) Sea level rise = Show more…
