PPleas solve very soon completely 

Sea level rise is predicted to affect 53% of the US population alone (and this does not take other countries into consideration!). Now, you will calculate how much sea level would rise if various glaciers melted. Calculate the volume of water produced by the melting ice, then the surface area of the ocean basins, then calculate the sea level rise. USE UNITS!!! 28. Calculate the estimated sea level rise following the melting of all ice, including continental glaciers (total estimated ice volume 266,677,300 km³).
