Why dont melting Icebergs lower the sea level?

>>8465125
The volume of ice underwater is the volume it would take up if it was water so when it melts the sea level stays the same.

Icebergs melting won't affect sea level, ice on land that melts and flows into the sea will affect it.

m8 sea levels are rising because increased temperature > greater expansion of water.

That's why

The volume of water displaced by the mass of the iceberg isn't dependent on anything but its weight (mass). Neither raises nor lowers sea level when it melts.

I thought water was incompressible ?

>>8465173
it takes up same volume???
isnt water denser?
>>8465177
yeah thanks for clarifying

>>8465217
Only the ice underwater takes up the same volume as the same mass of water, the bit poking out the top is the excess volume.

compressiblity is a function of pressure not temperature.

Feel free to experiment with a glass odd water, some ice cubes, and a marker pen.
Oh, and a tiny polar bear of course.

FRESHWATER < SALTWATER

the mass the water displaced by the iceberg is equivalent to the mass of the entire iceberg; therefore when it all melts into the water the space that the melted water will take up has already been raised by the berg. try this by placing ice in a bowl of water; when the ice melts the water will not rise - it already has

okay holy fuck,i got it.

But doesnt that mean that water levels shouldnt rise at all?
or is it like another anon said,that the ice on land that's melting is causing the rise

The north pole ice doesnt matter since its all suspended in water already

What you need to worry about is stuff like greenland and antarctic ice which is sitting on land

>>8465310
Also need to take into consideration that water expands when heated, so global warming makes it take up more volume (sea level rise)

>>8465200
Everything is compressible if you try hard enough

>>8465310
Also, when large amounts of ice melt away the crust that was beneath it begins to rise because the upper mantle is somewhat spongy and springy, and a large mass is no longer pushing it down. This obviously happens on a much longer time scale than the other factors, but it will eventually result in water being pushed away from the poles and down to the equator as the Earth becomes a marginally less oblate spheroid.

What happens to shit when it goes into a black hole? Is it compressed into what's known as 'black matter' or it does some quantum shit and its coding turns into a void number or some shit? Soz, I'm a young, dumb fag
