City Island in the Bronx is approximately 0.4 square miles in size, and has a population of approximately 4,000 people. What is the population density of City Island? Be sure to include correct units in your answer.
Suppose that 50 years from now, global warming has melted Greenland’s glaciers and raised the sea level, so that City Island shrinks to half of its former size. However, the same number of people still live there.
Before doing any calculations, decide if you think the population density of City Island will increase, decrease, or stay the same after the effects of global warming. Explain your answer.
Calculate explicitly the population density of City Island after the effects of global warming.
