Question

Write 3 × 107 km3, the total volume of the continental Antarctica ice sheet, as a basic numeral.

Answer 1

The total volume of the continental Antarctica ice sheet, as a basic numeral. 31,000,000 km³.

What is volume?

The space occupied by any solid in a three-dimensional space is called the volume of the solid. For Antarctica, the volume will be the space occupied by the ice present in three-dimensional space.

Let us first gather the information needed Land area of Antarctica = 14,000,000 KM squared

The average thickness of Antarctic ice = 2.15 KM

Earth’s oceans cover a total surface area of 340,000,000 KM²

The ice melts into water, the resulting water volume is about 5/6 of the original ice.

(5/6) x  (14,000,000 km) x (2.15 km) = 340,000,000 km

14,000,000km² x 2.15km = 31,000,000 km³

Therefore, the total volume of the continental Antarctica ice sheet is a basic numeral. 31,000,000 km³.
