Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,

Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.

All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page

Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

Ice Melt

Thu Apr 08, 2004 1:15 am

I know ice is lighter than water as it flotes. How much water is in one cubic meter of ice. As in if all the Greenland ice cap melted.

Area of worlds oceans 361,132,000.00 sq Km
Area of Greenlands ice 1,755,637.00 sq Km Depth overall ?

If one cubic meter melts I know it will not create a full sq meter of water.

Thanks

Bill Westfall

The density of ice is 917 kg/m³ *
