They are really heavy
Global warming is melting glaciers and ice caps and causing ocean waters to warm and expand. This means that sea-levels will rise causing permanent flooding.
Periods of glaciation cause sea levels to drop, because that water gets locked up in ice on land.
Coastal tourist industries will be underwater if sea levels continue to rise. Global warming is melting glaciers and causing thermal ocean expansion, so sea levels are rising. Low-lying countries and cities are being flooded, especially when there are storm surges.
Melting glaciers are associated with elevated levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, and carbon dioxide dissolves in water to form carbonic acid, hence, the oceans become more acidic.
This higher temperature may be causing some floating icebergs to melt, but this will not make the oceans rise. Icebergs are large floating chunks of ice. In order to float, the iceberg displaces a volume of water that has a weight equal to that of the iceberg. But the rising temperature and icebergs could play a small role in the rising ocean level. Icebergs are chunks of frozen glaciers that break off from landmasses and fall into the ocean. The rising temperature may be causing more icebergs to form by weakening the glaciers, causing more cracks and making ice mo re likely to break off. As soon as the ice falls into the ocean, the ocean rises a little.

When glaciers melt, ocean levels rise and cause continent land mass to decrease. This could also cause volcanoes under glaciers to be exposed and possibly erupt.

the oceans levels are rising and the ocean is getting warmer the oceans level is rising cause the ice is melting.

You will find glaciers in the Arctic Ocean.
The nearest body of water or ocean would be the Indian ocean not glaciers.
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.
As the world warms as a result of the increasing level of atmospheric carbon dioxide, so the ocean water warms. As water warms it expands, causing global sea levels to rise. Another cause of rising sea levels is the melting of glaciers and ice caps, releasing water into the ocean. Overall, sea levels have risen 20 centimetres in the last century, and are now predicted to rise by 90 to 150 centimetres during the twenty-first century.
