Estimating the resulting sea level rise


The West Antarctic ice sheets (some 0.83 million km2 and only 6% of the total Antarctic ice surface) have an average thickness of 2.1 km,. If this ice were to fall into the sea due to melting because of global warming, estimate the resulting sea level rise if the oceans cover 71% of the surface of the ocean. Assume the radius of the Earth is 6353 km.
