Wow... I did not know that so many people will bother to read this stuff. Well, in the experiment someone mentioned, you do not measure the water level before putting the ice in. Instead, put ice into water, then measure the water level, then when the ice melts measure the water level again.

Then again, I agree that if the water comes from ice that was not originally floating like in the case of ice on mountaintops, the sea level will rise.

So now its a matter of seeing where the water comes from. The artic, as i hope everyone knows, is actually not land but more of a giant ice berg. Therefore, reise in sea levels will definitely not come from the artic.

On the other hand, Antartica IS a continent, which means that there is land under the layer of ice. This ice melting WILL cause a rise in sea levels.

However, taking into account my other theories about how increase in the temperature of air will allow air to hold more water and hence allow more evaporation, it is not too difficult to believe that the amount of water air can hold is around that of which the ice in antartica when melted will provide. This means that even if there was a chnage in sea levels, it will not be by much.

As for the supply of heat, assuming my idea of constant expansion is not true, the only explanation i can come up with is that energy in the atmosphere does in fact get released. How? Perhaps this occurs on the half of the earth that is not covered by sunlight. Without a constant supply of energy, the energy levels in the atmosphere will be higher than that in space. Hence, earth will radiate heat in to space. This heat released is what makes early mornings cold: Lots of energy and hence heat is lost throught the atmosphere into space. Thus decreasing the energy level in earth.

Now for the opposing view. Taking that the earth is cnstantly expanding due to energy supply from the sun, a suitable explanation why the half not covered by sun gets cold at night could be attributed to radiation given out from space bodies. These radiation will not be stopped by mere matter and will penetrate the earth to bring energy to the shaded half. However, this energy though enough to cause the earth to expand is not in excess such that we will experience heat. this means that the shaded half is constantly expanding as well, but due to lesser energy supplied, less is in the form of heat and more in the form of matter. This will lead us to feel cold in theory of relativity. Imagine dipping your hand in warm water for five minutes. when you remove your hand, you will feel cool even if the temperature of the air is not as cool.

I hope that those who reads it will not get too confused over what I am saying. I find it really exciting to come up with these new theories and it will be such a pity of no one gets what I am grasping at.

The prelims have started. I still have not found a way to answer geography questions...
