If the polar ice caps were to melt...
wouldn't the sea levels decrease?
Water ice is less dense than liquid water, so the volume (and displacement of liquid water) is greater when its frozen. But when you melt that, the volume decreases, and some of the water that was initially displaced by the ice would flow back to its original position.
