*READ THIS PARAGRAPH AND THEN ANSWER THE QUESTIONS AT THE BOTTOM*

Like the other Hawaiian Islands, Loihi is volcanic. But unlike most of the other islands, it is still being formed. Currently, the island is more than 3,000 m high. It has about 969 m to go before it reaches sea level. If it keeps growing at its current rate, it should become visible above the surface of the ocean sometime in the next 10,000 to 100,000 years.

Question 1:
If Loihi reaches sea level in 10,000 years, what would its average rate of growth per year be?

Question 2:
What would its average rate of growth per year be if it reaches sea level in 100,000 years?

If you answer these 2 questions correctly I will give you 5 stars and thanks.

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Since the sea level is 10,000 the average growth rate per year would be 2 mm.

2. 1000m because 10/x = 1000/100000

1000x=1000000

x=1000000/1000

x=1000
