A Calculation to Demonstrate the Thickness of Terrestrial Ice
The following table shows surface areas (in km 2) for various features of the Earth.
The entire ice mass of the earth occupies a volume of approximately 30 million km3. It has been estimated that sea level would rise by 70 meters if all of this ice melted. If this mass were deposited upon each of the features in the preceding table, how thick would the ice layer be? Express your answer in meters and feet. (1 km = 1000 m = 3,281 ft).
