Global warming will result in sea level rise. Assume that i) 2/3 or the earth's surface is oceans with average depth of the oceans is 3000m ii) that sea level rise will not result in the increase in the surface area of the oceans iii) that all of the oceans' water is at a the same temperature of 20°C and has (volume) coefficient of thermal expansion of ß = 2 x 10-4 K-¹. How much will the sea level rise for a 3°C rise in the average water temperature? (You should neglects the effects from the ice caps melting due to this temperature rises.)
