The melting point of ice decreases with altitude due to lower atmospheric pressure. At 16,404 feet (approximately 5,000 meters), the melting point of ice is around -2.5°C (27.5°F) instead of the standard 0°C (32°F) at sea level. However, this can vary slightly based on local environmental conditions.
They are both ice and they may both be melting. But the iceberg is already displacing water, so by melting does little to raise the sea level. When a glacier melts, the additional water does raise the sea level somewhat. This would be particularly true when major ice caps such as the Greenland ice cap, melt.
At sea level, 1 atm, the melting point of water is 0 oC and the boiling point of water is 100 oC.
Glaciers and ice caps are melting. The ice over Greenland is melting and so is the Arctic sea ice.
Zero degree (if we talk about destilled or reasonably pure water), for sea ice it's typically more around -4 degrees.
i think you mean what is the melting point of ice as water cant melt. the melting point of ice at sea level is 100 degres celsius
Global Warming and the melting of ice.
Sea ice is already in the water, so melting it doesn't affect sea levels.
Global warming (caused by our burning of fossil fuels) is expanding the ocean water and melting glacial ice. Thie melted ice also adds to the sea level rise.
Ice glaciers contribute to sea level rise because they are land-based ice that, when melted, adds water to the ocean. In contrast, melting ice shelves, which float on the ocean, do not directly raise sea levels since they are already displacing water. The melting of ice shelves can indirectly influence sea level rise by allowing glaciers to flow more rapidly into the ocean, but their direct contribution to sea level change is negligible compared to that of land glaciers.
The value is variable in different regions; the lowest value is 2,6 0C.

Yes the arctic ice caps are melting and the level of the worlds oceans is slowly rising.
Antarctica's melting ice will flow into the sea. This will raise sea levels around the world. There is enough ice on Antarctica to raise sea levels by 60 metres (200 feet).
Melting/Freezing point : 0 oC or 273.15 Kelvin Boiling point: 100 oC or 373.15 Kelvin
colder because it is caused by the ice caps melting
global warming has caused the polar ice caps to melt, this has caused sea level to rise
