I am interested to see how this science experiment goes. I really don't think it is going to "overflow". I know that ice is more dense than water but I know that when you have a glass of water with ice and you leave it overnight in the morning my counter is still dry and all of the substance is still in the glass. I am approaching this experiment with this thought in mind.
My only questions are will it affect our dry land by creating more water over the now dry land? Have we thought about the reversal of this problem; an ice age? Which one would be more damaging?
I expected the same result before I completed this experiment! It took me about 3 minutes after setting it up to realize that I was wrong and why. I guess it goes to show us we can still learn no matter how old we are.
ReplyDeleteI really like your question about the ice age. I have heard climate changes are cyclic and that another ice age is inevitable. All of the world's population unable to survive outside of the 40N and 40S lines of latitude is a scary thought.
