When an ice melts on water, which was initially floating on it, the water level must get increased.
Why it remains unchanged??

When ice melts, it turns into liquid water and takes up less space than it did as a solid. This means that the water level will increase slightly, but not significantly.
The water level will rise slightly when ice melts because the liquid water takes up less space than the solid ice did. However, this increase is usually very small and not noticeable.
Yes, melting all the ice in the world would have a significant impact on sea levels. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, if all the ice on Earth were to melt, sea levels would rise by approximately 70 meters (230 feet).
The melting of ice in the polar regions, such as Greenland and Antarctica, has a larger impact on sea levels than melting ice in other areas. This is because these regions contain a significant amount of ice that is currently on land, and when it melts, it adds more water to the oceans.
Yes, the melting of ice on land has a greater impact on sea levels than melting icebergs in the ocean. This is because ice on land, such as glaciers and ice sheets, is not already displacing water like icebergs in the ocean are. When land ice melts, it adds more water to the oceans and causes sea levels to rise.
