4.15) Exercise 9 - Sea Level Rise challenge
Write a program to calculate how much the sea level would rise if the Greenland ice sheet were to completely melt. Assume the following:
- Volume of ice in the Greenland ice sheet (call it Volume_Ice) is 2.931 x 106 km3
- Density of ice (Rho_Ice) is 917 kg/m3
- Density of water (Rho_Water) is 1000 kg/m3
- The ocean covers (Area_Ocean) 3.61 108 km² of the globe
- Volume_Water = Volume_Ice * Rho_Ice / Rho_Water
- Sea_Level_Rise = Volume_Water / Area_Ocean
Here's a solution:
