Melting iceberges response

Question 9:
What happens if the polar ice caps melts? Based on the experiment; the displacement of water due to the mass of the ice cubs will be equal to the amount of melted water from the ice cubs. Therefore, an equilibrium will prevent the water from overflowing the sides of the bowl. This is similar to what happens when the polar ice caps melts.

What other questions do you have about this science inquiry experience? What could disturb the equilibrium of the polar ice caps melting that would lead to flooding?
