Sea level changes occur at a rate of 10 m per 1,000 years. regional erosion occurs at a rate of 2 m per 1,000 years. uplift occurs at a rate of 0.1 m per 1,000 years. which process is the fastest? sea level changes regional erosion uplift

The rate of sea level change is the fastest

To determine the process which is the fastest we need to determine the rate at which each occurs in meters per year.

Rate of sea level changes is 10 m per 1,000 years

Therefore, the rate of sea level change = 10 m ÷ 1000 years

                                                                 = 0.01 m/yr

Regional erosion occurs at 2 m per 1,000 years

Therefore, Rate in meters per seconds = 2 m ÷ 1,000 years

                                                                 = 0.002 m/year

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

Thus, rate in meters per seconds = 0.1 m ÷ 1,000 years

                                                       = 0.0001 m/yr

Therefore, the rate of sea level change is the fastest at a rate of 0.01 meter/year
