| Assume that by the 2080s, sea level rises by nearly 3.6 feet. By how many feet (to the nearest tenth of as foot) would a storm surge have to raise the level of the water to flood areas that today are less than 10 feet in elevation?:-
.....Correct?

.....Correct?

|
| On the basis of the above information, for the frequency of flooding for areas that today are less than 10 feet above sea level, how do estimates of hazard in the 2080s made by the Army Corps of Engineers compare with estimates of hazard in the 2080s made by NASA-Goddard? If you answer is 'About the same', place the capital letter A in the box. If you answer is 'Much greater', put the capital letter B in the box. If your answer is 'Lesser', put the capital letter C in the box. ('About the same' means from about one-third to three times the value.):-
