Sea level is currently rising at 5 mm/yr, and scientists predict that global warming could cause a rise in sea level of 7 m if left unabated. How long will it take the sea to rise 7 m at the current rate?.

Respuesta :

Answer:

1400 years

Explanation:

Let us convert everything to the same units first. For simplicity, I will convert everything to millimeters.

7 m = 7 m x (1000 mm / 1 m) = 7000 mm

Since the rate is 5, we can use this equation:

rate*time=length

5*years=7000

solve

years=1400
