[quote:Anonymous Coward 77441624:MV80MDQ0NTY4XzczMjY4ODI0X0QzRTRGMEQy] [quote:Buzzcheeze:MV80MDQ0NTY4XzczMjY4NzI4X0QxMEVGQkM0] When you add mass to water what happens and how does that relate to sea level rise? An easy visual experiment would be to take a plastic 5 GAL bucket and fill it to the lip with water then put your head all the way down to your shoulders then pull your head out of the bucket then check to see if the water level is still at the brim, if not ask bystanders wherein the hell did the water go? [/quote] Thats not an equal comparison. You head is being introduced from outside of the bucket. When land slides into water it displaces the water but the missing land also expands the area that the water can occupy. If 1000 cubic feet of land drops into the sea, that's also 1000 additional cubic feet of land that the water can flow into. :norespect: [/quote]

Every Friday evening since November I click this link
[

] and I even have a reminder set up to do so. Both are the same question phrased and presented differently.
Question 1: When you add mass to water what happens and how does that relate to sea level rise. I am speaking in terms of land erosion into the seas.
A small scale example would be sediment decreasing the capacity of reservoirs via displacement. [

Question 2: When you add mass to water what happens and how does that relate to sea level rise. I am speaking in terms of volcanoes still adding mass under the sea surface.
An easy visual experiment would be to take a plastic baggie and fill it almost to the lip with water, and then push up with your fist on the bottom which would represent a volcano under the sea level displacing water.
I always get the confirmations, but nothing more.
What gives?
