Why placing the rock in the water causes the water level to rise?

Becuase the rock takes up space and has volume, it pushes the water out of the way.

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 you step into a very full bath or hot tub sometimes the water overflows But when you step into a lake and swim you don't notice the level of the water rise at all Explain why this is?
The water in the lake WILL rise, but the lake is so much larger, the change will not be visible to the naked eye.
What exerts a strong pull on water in the ocean?
The Moon's gravitational pull on our planet causes the ebb and flow, (rise and fall), of our earth's oceans.
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.
How do you measure volume of a material?
One way to measure volume of a material is the following: Put the material in a waterproof container, e.g. a tub. Submerge the material in water, register the water level, take the material out and measure what volume of water you need to add to the tub in order to make the water rise to the level it was with the material in. The volume of water you've added equals the volume of the material.
Why does the water level rise after a tsunami?
Normally it doesn't. Any change in water level is secondary to the earthquake that causes (most) tsunamis and/or the rise or fall of the land that accompanies it.
Why causes the water level rise when Into the bath?
because the ice at north and south pole has melt
Why does the water level rise after tsunami?
An under water earthquake precedes a tsunami. Earthquake causes seismic waves which set up the water in motion with a large force. This causes a tsunami.
What is it called when rise in the water level causes overflow ito dry land short lived?
It is called a flood.
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.
Which property of marbles causes the water level to rise when they are put in a graduated cylinder?
The fact that they are waterproof. Partly but they take space in the water and as a result water is displaced and rises.
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.
Why doesn't the water vapor rise above these other gases to a higher level of the atmosphere?
The cool atmosphere condenses the rising water vapor and causes it to fall back to Earth
What causes water to rise?
the melting of ice or glaciers
What is the alternate rise and fall in the level of sea water?
The rise and fall is the tides.
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.
What will happend when you add marbles in water?
The water will be displaced, and the water level will rise.
