- Here is some data about sea level rise in the Chesapeake Bay. The data shows the change in sea level over time. Notice that there are four sea level measurements per year because they are done during each season (fall, winter, summer, and spring). Sea Level Rise Year 0.5 mm 1980 0.4 mm 1980 0.4 mm 1980 0.2 mm 1980 Average 0.6 mm 1990 0.4 mm 1990 0.8 mm 1990 0.5 mm 1990 Average 0.5 mm 2000 0.6 mm 2000 0.9 mm 2000 0.8 mm 2000 Average 0.9 2010 0.8 2010 1.0 2010 1.3 2010 Average Calculate the average sea level rise for each year and fill in the table above.
