Let
us first gathered the information needed:
Land
area of Antarctica = 14,000,000 KM squared
Average
thickness of Antarctic ice = 2.15 KM
<span>Earth’s
oceans cover a total surface area of 340,000,000 KM2</span>
If
the ice melts into water, the resulting water volume is about 5/6 of the
original ice.
<span>So after
getting the necessary details, let’s do math.
</span>
(5/6)
* (14,000,000 km) * (2.15 km) = 340,000,000 km
<span>14,000,000km2
x 2.15km = 30,100,000km3</span>
<span>(5/6)
x 30,100,000 = 25083333.33 volume of Antarctica’s water.</span>
