The glaciers of Greenland have a total area of approximately 18 × 10^12 ft^2 and an average depth of 1.0 mile. What is the volume of water that would be released if all the glaciers were to melt? Given that oceans cover 70% of planet earth and the earth radius is approximately 6,371 kilometers, how much would ocean levels rise? (Neglect differences in the density between ice and water and changes in ocean coverage upon rising sea levels)
The Greenland ice sheet extends 1.7e12 m2, and average 2,100 meter thick. The area of the world oceans is 360e12 m2. Assume ice and water have about the same density. The sea level will rise _____ meter if the Greenland ice sheet is all melted.
According to the infographic above, one of the largest earthquakes of this year 2021 was the magnitude 8.2 Earthquake in Alaska on 29 July 2021. Earthquakes represent a release of energy as a result of the earth's tectonic plates. a) Determine the amount of energy release in ergs. b) Determine the energy release in Joules. ( Hint use the earthquake formula M = 2/3 log (E/ 10^11.8); where M is the earthquake magnitude and E is the energy of the earthquake in ergs (recall 1 erg = 10^-7 Joules)). c) Using the earthquake magnitude scale below to qualitatively categorize (was it Minor, Light, Moderate, Strong, Major or Great) and describe the earthquake (what kind of damage is expected from a magnitude 7.1 earthquake)
