Answer:
3.96mm/year
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Given that:
Observed variation in water level over 6.2 years = - 13.64mm
Average annual trend shows rise in water level at 1.8 mm / year
difference between how much average water levels rose and how much the water level fell in the part of the river she observed?
Average Yearly observed variation :
Observed variation / number of years
-13.64mm / 6.2 years
= - 2.16 mm
Hence, observed yearly fall = - 2.16 mm
Yearly rise = 1.8mm / year
Difference :
( 1.8 mm/year) - (-2.16mm / year)
= (1.8 + 2.16) mm/year
= 3.96 mm/year
