Question

Uplift occurs at a rate of 0.1 m per 1,000 years. How much will the uplift change over 100,000 years? 10 m 100 m 1,000 m 10,000 m

Answer 1

Answer:

= 10 m

Explanation:

We are given;

Uplift rate is 0.1 m per 1,000 years

We can get the time taken an uplift change of 1 m

= 1,000 years ÷ 0.1 m

= 10,000 years per 1 m

uplift change of 1 m takes 10,000 years

Therefore, for 100,000 years the uplift change will be;

 = 100,000 years ÷ 10,000 years/m

 = 10 m

Therefore, the uplift will change in 10 m within 100,000 years

Answer 2

Uplift occurs at a rate of 0.1 m per 1,000 years.

How much will the uplift change over 1,000,000 years?


0.1 m
