    The rate of sea level change is the fastest

    Explanation:

    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
