In this ocean activity you will discover how the sea level is affected by melting icebergs. Do you know if the oceans will rise, stay the same or get lower if all the ice in the Arctic Ocean melted?
Our Water Cycle activity book contains fascinating activities related to water in this 46 page book. Activities in the fun science book include Water Melodies, What's the Volume, and Icebergs Ahead. Myrna Martin
The iceberg floated on top of the water because water expands as it turns to ice. When the ice melted it decreases in volume to its original size.
If the ice in the Arctic Ocean melts it will not cause the ocean levels to rise. If the ice on the continent of Antarctica melted sea levels will rise because the water would be running off the continent into the oceans.
