Explain the volume of ice has been estimeted

Reference no: EM13547238

Part 1:The volume of ice has been estimeted to be 2.85 x 10^6 km^2. The density of ice is 918 kg/m^3. The radius of the earth is 6378.16 km. If the oceans represent 70.8% of the earths surface, calculate the increase in ocean depth that will result from melting of the Greenland icecap.

Part2: The heat of fusion of water is 6.01 kJ/g.mol . Average solar energy is approximately 350 W/m^2. Assume that the ice caps represent 10% of land area and absorb 30% of incident radiation. How long would it take to melt the greenland icecap?
