Natural Science Forum / Earth Science / Oceanography / November 2007Sea levels?
The Greenland Ice is melting, as we see by reports. If there all ice melts, seas should go up seven meters. But the Arctic and the Antarctic ice are melting too, no? If half the ice melts about the Poles, and in Greenland and everywhere else, how many feet would sea levels rise? What if all the ice melts? But I guess we can conjecture that a dramatic rise of the Indian Ocean, the Arabian Sea, the Mediterranean, the Persian Gulf, the Red Sea, would submerge some land. Would some land in Israel, Libya, Egypt, Syria, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq and Iran submerge? Would none? Would much? All the ice that is on the land has to melt in order to make a difference to the sea levels. If you put some ice into a glass and then pour water over the ice until it (the ice) begins to float, mark on the side of the glass the water level with the ice and then let it melt you will see that the water level remains unchanged. > The Greenland Ice is melting, as we see by reports.

I did that. It looks as if the water level went down a little bit. I don't understand this. My guess is that the water lost volume because it cooled, but the amount of water in the glass should increase by the amount of water it took to form the ice cube. Therefore, maybe an ice cube acts as a doorway into another dimension, and the net effect of icebergs falling into the ocean is that the sea levels will go down until the ocean beds are dry. > 27 sep, 19:02, "skddlbyp" <ghm...@fnp.aiu> : See Archimedes' Principle in Hydrostatics: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes%27_Principle No-copy: alt.bible.prophecy Notice: please contact me by private e-mail if you want me to follow up this discussion. |
