Estimate how much sea-level rise this estimate implies

Reference no: EM13542406

Over the last 100 years, it is estimated that the top 700 m of the ocean have been heated by 0.1 degrees Celsius. Using the thermal expansivity of water, estimate how much sea-level rise this estimate implies. How much sea-level rise would a 1 degree Celsius heating of the top 700 m imply?
