What will happen if ice in kept in glass of water does the level of water will rise or not?

yes, becuse when ice melts it becoms water.Answer:When ice is added to a glass of water the level will rise. After that, as the ice melts the level will decline. When water freezes it expands, so when it thaws back to a liquid it shrinks.


A glass full of water contain ice cubes floating in it .What will happen to the water level when ice melts?

When the ice melts the water level will rise. The water level will increase because Ice is frozen water and when the ice melts, it turns to water, which means more water will be added to the glass.


What evidence do global warming deniers give that global warming is a hoax?

1) if the ice melts in the northern/ southern region of the world, the water level wont rise. BECAUSE that water is froze, it is expanded.


How greenhouse effect contribute in increasing sea level?

It melts the glaciers making the sea levels rise


How does climate change affect water?

warm climates make waters rise as ice melts.

What effect would a heavy snowfall have on rivers and streams?

it could possibly make the river rise when it melts


Why would melting the Arctic ice cap not cause a rise in sea level on its own?

If you put an ice cube in a glass of water the water level will rise because the cube displaces the water. Now if you check the water level after the cube melts, it will be the same. So ocean levels will not change if floating chunks of ice melt. However, If the ice is on land and melts and the water runs into the ocean, that will increase the water level.


When ice melts what does it leave behind?

When the ice caps melt, it leaves water behind. If all the of the icecaps melt, it will rise the ocean level 20ft.


Does ice melting make more water in a cup of water?

If the ice is floating (North Pole), then water levels do NOT rise when the ice melts. If the ice is on land (Alaska, Greenland, Antarctica) then the ice melting will cause sea levels to rise.


Why does the water level of the great lakes remain the same even if a chunk of floating ice melts in it?

Floating ice is already in the water, so its melting causes no rise in lake levels.


How did the growth of glaciers affect water level in the oceans?

when glacier runs into the ocean it causes the water level to rise. just like when we add ice cubes to a glass of water. but when the icebergs melts water level remains the same. like when the ice cubes melt in a glass of water. it does not increase the amount of water in the glass. global warming is causing glaciers to run into the ocean causing water level to rise.


When the anchor is thrown into the water will the water level in the pool drop or rise?

The anchor displaces water and the water level will rise.

Why do rivers flood so much?

Rivers flood so much as snow melts on the water, dams burst and heavy rain. All these can cause the water level to rise and causes lots of flooding.


Why does sea level rise and fall during interglacial and glacial periods?

During a glacial period (ice-age), a lot of water is held as ice, so lowering the sea level. When the ice melts during an interglacial period, the released water raises the sea level.
