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 happens to sea level as a glacier melts?

As a glacier melts, the melted water flows into the ocean, increasing the volume of water and causing sea levels to rise. This process is a significant contributor to global sea level rise, which has the potential to impact coastal areas and communities around the world.


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.


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.


Do melting ice cubes cause liquids to rise?

No. As ice cubes float, they displace the same volume of water that they contain. This is known as Archimedes' Principle. If they melt, the water level will stay exactly the same. Try it yourself by adding an ice cube to a glass and marking the water level. After the ice melts, you will see that there has been no change in the water level.


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.


Does the water in a glass of icewater rise as the ice melts?

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.


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

During glacial periods, sea levels drop because water is stored in continental ice sheets. During interglacial periods, ice melts and sea levels rise as water is released back into the oceans. These fluctuations in sea level are part of the Earth's natural climate cycles.
