Question

sea level is currently rising at 3.3 mm/yr, and scientists predict that global warming could cause a rise in sea level of 7 if left unabated. how long will it take the sea to rise 7 m at the current rate?

Answer 1

We first need to convert mm to m so we have the same units
Rate=3.3 mm/yr = .0033m/yr
Then we decide out our meters leaving us with years
7m/(.0033m/yr)=2121.2 years
