Linear Model Of Sea Level Rise
The table presents a model for sea level rise caused by thermal expansion, based on changes in global temperature. Which of the following options correctly represents the linear relationship shown in the data?
| ΔTemperature (°C) | Sea Level Increase (m) |
|---|---|
| 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 0.1 |
| 2 | 0.2 |
A
Employing a quadratic relationship to model sea level changes, which would imply a non-linear effect.
B
Assuming the sea level remains constant, regardless of temperature changes.
C
Using a model where sea level rise doubles with each additional degree Celsius, indicating an exponential relationship.
D
Using the model $$\Delta L=0.1*\Delta T$$ so that a 2°C increase results in a 0.2 m rise in sea level, directly reflecting the data.
