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.

Surprisingly, no. Water is one of the few substances that expands as it freezes. So as ice melts in a cup of water, the water level actually lowers. You can test this by filling a cup of ice water to the brim, and leaving it standing for a few hours. You'll find that the water has not spilled over the top.

If you measure the water level before adding the ice, the level will increase. If you measure the water level after adding ice, there might be a slight increase, but not much after it melts.

Can you boil water in a Styrofoam cup over an open flame?

No.You can boil water in a paper cup over a flame although you'll have more success if you have a steel grid in between so that the paper is heated evenly. The temperature at which paper burns is lower than that at which water boils so that the water keeps the paper too cool to catch light.If you try the same with a styrofoam cup, it will melt. Because styrofoam is a good insulator, the water can't keep it cool enough to prevent it melting.

Does the color of a cup effect the temperature of the water?

I'd have to say yes if the cup is in sunlight for example. Just like when you wear different colored shirts outside. A darker cup will absorb more light, and a lighter cup will reflect more light. The light energy converts into heat energy. Therefore, a darker colored cup would make water get warmer faster in light.
