Linear Model Of Sea Level Rise
< Prev
Next >

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.
