Chapter 1, Problem 86

(choose chapter or problem)

The total volume of ice in the Antarctic is about 3.01 107 km3. If all the ice in the Antarctic were to melt completely, estimate the rise, h, in sea level that would result from the additional liquid water entering the oceans. The densities of ice and fresh water are 0.92 g/cm3 and 1.0 g/cm3, respectively. Assume that the oceans of the world cover an area, A, of about 3.62 108 km2 and that the increase in volume of the oceans can be calculated as
