Now take that volume and spread it over the top of the ocean . Again, just a simple volume calculation ( with large numbers ) Square area of Ocean divided by cubic area of introduced water = increase in ocean level. Example: if you have a room measuring 100 Sq Meter and you take 1 cubic meter of water and pour it on the floor the water will now be one hundredth of a meter , or 1 centimeter deep. 1 divided by 100 = .01 Hi Bob , ,, if you look at the glazier ice and calculate the cubic volume , then how much water that would create when melted .

I guess that is a lot of water if you took one inch of water off the oceans. But still how do they accurately measure this stuff? What about tides and weather. Those are variables and they can effect a good acuurate measurement. Even temperature of the water and air will effect that measurement. Even the distance of the sun and moon effects it. The air pressure. Even for satalites that is to hard to acurately measure. I mean I could believe a foot but an inch I really doubt</p> one inch!!!
