Water increases in volume as it heats. Because the valence shell gains electrons. Water also grows in volume as it freezes. The closely packed molecules attaining a crystalline structure. So....your both right.
Now many have addressed this water subject, to which I will now dub "The Great Water Debate". (I've named 6 now, 4 more and I'll have a top ten of sorts. So soon I'll be naming about anything). But you single poor ol me, teacher, of the massive brain out with:

Oh ok but nothing was ever said about water freeze it had nothing ot do with the topic
So I guess what I'm asking is: You picking on me? Now I don't mind a bit. What's one more nemesis on this site for me. I kinda like it actually. Keeps me on my toes.
And since no one answered FiremanRyans' question:
Hey FiremanRyan.
Mr. Ryan, or can I call you Fireman,
The Artic ice sheet is indeed floating on water. Now as I'm sure you know, ice floating in water only has about 1/10 of its mass above water. So as the ice melts it most assuredly does take up less volume. But that is negated by the displacement of water by the 1/10 above water ice. See? Now the Antarctic ice sheet is up to three miles thick. But it sits atop land. Antarctica. So most of all the melting Antarctic ice sheet would indeed raise the sea level.
So now CanaidianGuy I think that this so-called "Great Water Debate" does fit in with YOUR threads name, "Global Warming and the Rise of the Sea Level."
Which again leads me to beg the question, "Are you picking on me"?
I keep telling everyone Vague has a CPU somewhere with all this stuff in memory which helps proves what I, teacher, of the massive brain, have in my memory, and like I said before, I remember stuff. The only other correct response on "The Great Water Debate" that I've seen is the young waif Kelzie, and SHE took me to school. Heads up boys, cute and smart.
Kelzie, move to the head of the class.
Class dismissed.
