In physics terms, yes. Ice has a negative heat, which when added to water, the negative heat is then transferred into the water, cooling it off. Then the opposite becomes true as well. The heat of the water acts to melt the ice, then reach thermal equilibrium, which happens only when both the "ice" and the water are the same temperature.

Obviously, the glass will overflow with the excess water generated from the melting ice.

Another way to look at it... Ice is less dense than water. That's why water expands when it freezes. I would think that the water level would decrease as the ice melts.

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.


Does thesea level rise when water melts?

yes it does....when ice melts.....


Will a glass of water filled to the brim with a cube of ice floating in it rise when ice melts?

No. The ice will melt such that it fills the volume of ice that the submerged part of the cube displaces.


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.


How does climate change affect water?

warm climates make waters rise as ice melts.


Can global warming cause the oceans to rise?

Yes. Global warming melts ice. Its not the ice that already drifts on the seas that is a problem, it displaces the volume of its weight, so if it melts, water levels will not rise. But the ice that covers land does not do this. If it melts, it will increase ocean levels.


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.


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

it could possibly make the river rise when it melts


Why don't floating ice cubes raise the water level when they melt?

cause whhen ice melts it turns to water that all i should have to say **The previous answer is nonsense. If the dough (or whatever other material you wish to use) is floating in a full cup of water with ice, as the ice melts the level of the cup WILL NOT RISE. Simple physics, ice is less dense than water. Density is equal to mass divided by volume or Density = Mass/Volume Therefore, differentiating between equal masses of water and ice, the melted ice will have LESS volume than the equal (mass) amount of water in the glass thereby having no effect on the overall volume of water in the glass..... to paraphrase the first answer-er ... 'duh'


Why does the water in a glass rise when you add ice?

The ice displaces water. The water has to go somewhere, so it goes where it's able to, which is up.


What will happen if the ice melts?

the earths sea levels will rise
