Glaciers, ice ages and polar lands, sentence 9

When ice on land melts, the sea rises; when floating sea ice melts, the sea hardly changes, just as melting ice cubes do not make a full glass overflow.

Who acts: ice, sea, floating sea ice, melting ice cubes · What happens: melt, rise, float, change, not make · To what, where: full glass overflow

This is a sentence of the lesson «Glaciers, ice ages and polar lands» of the world course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (ice, sea, floating sea ice, melting ice cubes), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
