the water level should go down as frozen water sublimates, remembering that when water is in it's frozen state it is 'bigger" then when it is in it's liquid state-yet this would only apply in a fixed container as water can escape through sublimating into the atmosphere and if in an open container water can attract other water in condensation- so more details are needed to answer this correctly

At what temperature does a block of ice at 0C begin to change its temperature as it melts?

A block of ice at 0C begins to change its temperature as it melts when it reaches 0C.


Will a glass of water filled to the brim with a cube of ice floating in it rise when ice melts?

The water level will decrease slightly when the ice cube melts, but the overall volume will remain constant. The melted ice will just fill the space that the ice cube previously occupied, so the glass will not overflow.


When an ice cube in a glass of water melts the water level in the glass?

The water level remains the same after the ice cube melts because the volume of the ice cube is already accounted for in the water level when it is frozen. When the ice melts, it simply changes state from solid to liquid without changing the overall volume in the glass.


When a block of ice floating on water in a container melts what happens to the volume of water in the container it increases or decreases?

Strictly speaking, the volume of water will increase. For example, if you have a 200 gram chunk of ice floating in 1000 ml of water, the volume of the water itself is 1000 ml. When the ice melts, the volume of water will be 1200 ml. However, if you're asking whether the water level in the container will go up or down, the answer is "neither." The ice displaces an amount of water equal to the mass of the ice. When the ice melts, the mass does not chance, so the amount of the original water displaced by the melted ice does not change. Hence, the water level will remain the same.


What will happen to the water level when an ice cube in a glass of water melts?

The water level lowers. See the Related Question below for additional info.

What happens to the sea level if all the sea ice melts?

Since sea ice is already located within the ocean, sea level will not change if it melts.


A piece of cork is embedded inside an ice block which floats in water if what will happen to the level of water when all the ice melts?

The level of water will remain the same because the cork displaces its weight in water, keeping it afloat when the ice melts. When the ice melts, the water that was previously frozen in the ice block will turn into liquid water, maintaining the overall water level.

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.
