(Created page with "When an ice cube floating in a cup melts, the water level ''doesn't'' rise, so you might be wondering why ocean levels rise when the polar ice caps melt from climate change? It's simple: Greenland and Antarctica aren't floating in water. There is land underneath. When their massive ice sheets melt, it flows into the ocean, raising the water levels.") |
