Long description

A simple colour diagram of a block of land ice resting on land and a block of floating ice in water shown side-on. An arrow points from the land ice into the water and this side of the diagram is labelled ‘Land ice raises sea level when it enters ocean’. The floating ice is partly submerged at the surface of the water. A dotted line box delineates the submerged part and this is labelled ‘Submerged volume of sea ice is equal to volume of water when sea ice melts’.
