Answer:

0.00012 of an inch or double that if they are completely under.

Explanation:

Currently, there are almost 8 billion people on Earth. Human beings come in all sizes, from tiny babies to large adults. Let’s assume the average size is 5 feet tall – a bit bigger than a child – with an average volume of 10 cubic feet. Only half of each person’s body would be submerged when they sit down, so only 5 cubic feet adds to the water level. With 8 billion people total, you can calculate 5 x 8 billion which gives a whopping 40 billion cubic feet that would be added to the oceans.

But remember, this volume would be spread over the vast area of the oceans. Using the same bathtub math as before, we divide the 40 billion cubic feet of volume over the 140 million square miles of ocean.

The answer? The total rise in sea level would be about 0.00012 of an inch, or less than 1/1000th of an inch. If everyone completely submerged themselves, this would double the answer to 0.00024 inches, which is still only about the width of a human hair.

sashaice [31]

California

The clues from the text are "one state south" and "sea side". There are only a few states one state south of Oregon: Nevada and California. Nevada is landlocked which means it does not have any access to the ocean. Therefore, your answer must be California. California's entire Western border is on the ocean.

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

The setting is established as a southern town where the people love to gossip and criticize and judge each other. The protagonist is Janie Mae Crawford and the voices you hear first are the townspeople gossiping as Janie is coming back to town. That is how she is introduced, as is Tea Cake her younger husband as well.

Explanation:

Hurston develops the exposition or frame of the novel by describing that Janie comes back in her southern hometown after her husband Tea Cake has died. The names of these characters are known from the gossip and people from the town talking, they are the voices that are heard first as the mysterious person walking into town is actually known. The character Janie starts telling her friend Pheoby about what had happened in her absence and where she was coming from. The first voices are from the people of the town, we hear about there comments and the way they judge people. Speech is important in the novel and it is how the book is framed through telling and gossip.
