Maybe I was sleeping in chemistry in Jr High but I do remember that water expands as its frozen and its volume goes down as it changes into water. (90% of an iceberg sits below sea level, if the iceverg melts, 0 net sum gain in ocean level) Why wont the ocean levels go down if all this ice melts instead of go up 200 feet. Also I know that 1 inch of rain is equals to 10 inches of snow, so if the snow melts, its volume also goes down. Am I making any sense here?
It’ll take one hellacious volume of ice to make the Oceans rise 200 feet.
The Antarctic ice sheets are sitting on land, not floating.
Because these ice fields sit on land, not water.
Fill an insulated glass with as much ice or snow as you can. Then fill it to the brim with water. Set the glass in a small dry dish. Come back when everything that can met has melted and look in the dish. Report back if you see any water in it. (Insulated glass will keep condensation from forming outside the glass and dripping into the dish.)

No, but keep working on it. Scientific advance comes from noting such things.
