APFIVE Linear Model Of Sea Level Rise
Which of the following is an example of modeling sea level rise due to thermal expansion using a linear relationship between temperature change and sea level increase?
| ΔTemperature (°C) | Sea Level Increase (m) |
|---|---|
| 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 0.1 |
| 2 | 0.2 |
A
Assuming the sea level remains constant, regardless of temperature changes.
B
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.
C
Employing a quadratic relationship to model sea level changes, which would imply a non-linear effect.
D
Using a model where sea level rise doubles with each additional degree Celsius, indicating an exponential relationship.
