They’re talking about ice that is on land, not in the ocean. When it melts and drains into the ocean the ocean will rise proportionately.
Interesting question. Tap water is <100 ppm (dissolved salts). Fresh water is <500. The Dead Sea is ~330,000ppm. We know there are many salt flats and mines that presumably arose from evaporated seas.
Would the glaciation occur as salt precipitates out of cooling water (which would not have as high of a carrying capacity) vs. evaporation. Warmer water should be able to hold more salt in solution. Hmmm..?
The missing ice could have been blasted into space when the asteroid/comet hit the icesheet and endedthe last ice age...they really are guessing, and have nothing but 19th
century theories to base any studies on.
they still haven’t explained what caused all those woolly mammoths to die instantly with food in their mouths...
Any model that excluded iced sweet tea is faulty.
Well, they didn’t say what I thought they might.
With the ice so thick it pushed down the continental plates beneath the ice and that would likewise cause other areas to rise.
With the ice gone the land slowly rebounds in one place and sinks in another.
If as may be the case at the end of the last ice age a large amount of ice was suddenly vaporized from impacts it might not have bern initially gradual, with many earthquakes everywhere.
Or their cousins, the corduroy mammoths!

They evolved into a quadruped called Nauga.
Unfortunately they were hunted to extinction for their unique hyde.
Gaah! Eye bleach stat!
Rich Corinthian leather!
Most of it is inside the hollow Earth.
That’s why more Nazi flying saucers can’t fit in there.
That's only true for melting *sea* ice, since it's already part of the ocean. Melting glaciers and land-bound ice sheets are another matter.
That was too easy ... sheesh)
Hi.
In the fwiw department, like land, there will be no more water created or destroyed that wasn’t here from the beginning.

All matter was here from the beginning.
That’s one reason Time Travel will be nigh impossible....................
The erf has been such a topsy turvy place with so much going on just since the breakup of Pangea, if in fact it ever happened, it makes every finding just a theory, an interpretation of the evidence.
The geologic evidence is similar to taking the bones from every animal sans flesh, putting them in a massive blender than tasking someone who has never seen any of the animals to sort the bones and tell us what animals were thrown into the blender.
Just about any answer is the equivalent of 10,000 monkeys with typewriters recreating Shakespeare.
I say this and I am an analytical engineer.
