Take a large (or small) empty glass and fill it up with ice, you can use ice cubes or crushed ice, it makes no difference... fill it over the top so the ice rises well above the rim of the glass... be sure to keep adding more and more ice until you have a small mountain of ice rising well above the rim of the glass...
Now, set that glass on the kitchen table and let the ice melt completely, this may take several hours...
If your claim is true and valid, then when all the ice melted we should see the water spill over the rim of that glass...
But, when you return to that glass which was overloaded with ice which is now completely melted, you will find that not one single drop of melted ice spilled over the top of that glass, in fact the glass in not even full of water...
The theory that melting land ice raises the level of ocean water is completely debunked...
When water is frozen and forms into ice, that water expands, so the volume of water is much larger when it freezes...
As ice melts, the volume of water contracts, therefore no matter how over full you stack the ice in that glass, when the ice melts it will never overflow that glass and the melting land ice will never increase, not even by one single drop, the level of any of the great oceans... that's just an absurd notion and has now been debunked with an elementary school experiment...
Kindly tell me the defect in the above experiment which I suggest you try at home to test for yourself...<<
Your experiment is flawed. The ice pack on land is not in the water, it is above the water. To recreate land Ice melting into a full glass of water. The ice would have to be placed above the water in a funnel that would drain into the glass of water.
See last ice age sea levels.Global sea level rose by a total of more than 120 metres as the vast ice sheets of the last Ice Age melted back. This melt-back lasted from about 19,000 to about 6,000 years ago, meaning that the average rate of sea-level rise was roughly 1 metre per century.
