Answer : The the sea level change over 10,000,000 years is 100000 m.

Explanation :

As we are given the sea level changes occur at a rate of 10 m per 1,000 years.

Now we have to determine the sea level change over 10,000,000 years.

According to the question,

As, in 1000 years the rate change of sea level = 10 m

So, in 10,000,000 years the rate change of sea level =
$\frac{10,000,000\text{ years}}{1000\text{ years}}* 10m=100000m$

Therefore, the the sea level change over 10,000,000 years is 100000 m.
