Assignment: Rates of Geologic Processes Investigation
The table below explains the average rate at which some geologic
processes occur. Calculate the amount of sea level change, erosion, and uplift
for 100,000 years, 1,000,000 years, and 10,000,000 years. Remember, 100 cm = 1
m.

level changes, erosion, or uplift?

2. What is the slowest process, seal level changes, erosion, or
uplift?
