Question

Uplift occurs at a rate of 0.1 m per 1,000 years.

How much will the uplift change over 100,000 years?


10 m

100 m

1,000 m

10,000 m

Answer 1

The correct answer is 10 m

Hope this suites your question.

Answer 2

The uplift will change over 10 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

To know how much the elevation will change in 100,000 years, a rule of three can be applied. The rule of three is a way of solving problems of proportionality between three known values and an unknown, establishing a relationship of proportionality between all of them. Two magnitudes are directly proportional when, by multiplying or dividing one of them by a number, the other is multiplied or divided respectively by the same number. Then you can talk about direct rule of three.

In this case it can be applied as follows: if the uplift at 1,000 years is 0.1 m, what will be the uplift at 100,000 years?

`uplift=(100000 years*0.1 m)/(1000 years)`

uplift= 10 m

So, the uplift will change over 10 m.
