How does the melting of ice in Greenland affect sea level?

It's not that Greenland's ice melt is the only factor, but it does have a pretty significant impact on global sea level.

When continental ice melts, the resulting water flows into the oceans and directly increases the total volume of water, which raises sea level everywhere.

Scientists estimate that if all of Greenland's ice disappeared, the level could rise several meters, so it's an important factor that people should take seriously, although the reality is more complex because other glaciers and changes in water density also play a role.
