Artic Ice Cap

Question

Arctic Ice Cap The Arctic ice cap contains 680,000

cubic miles of ice. If this ice cap melted at a rate of

50 cubic miles per year, how many years would it take

for the entire ice cap to melt?

Answer 1

Number of years required
= 680000 / 50
= 13600 years

Of course, this is assuming that the rate at which the Artic ice cap melt is costant.
