Answer:
The sea level will be 5m higher in 1667 y (years)
Explanation:
From the question, the rate at which the ocean's level is currently rising is about 3mm per year.
First, we will convert mm (millimeter) to m (meter)
1 mm = 0.001 m
Then,
3 mm = 3 × 0.001 m
= 0.003m
That is, the rate at which the ocean's level is currently rising is about 0.003m per year.
Now, to determine how long it will take for the ocean's level be 5 m higher than now at the given rate,
If the ocean rises 0.003 m in 1 year, then
the ocean will rise 5 m in x years
x = (5 m × 1 year) / 0.003 m
x = 5 / 0.003
x = 1666.67 years
x ≅ 1667 years
Hence, the sea level will be 5m higher in 1667 y (years)
OK.
But first we need to know . . .
-- Where is Riverdale ?
-- What is the air temperature there right now ?
-- What kind of system is being used now ?
-- Where can we get a complete description of the groundwater system ?
