Best Answer

It occurs when an object is put into the liquid, causing the object to push water out of the way to take its place. Usually the water will overflow over the cup. If not, then the water will seem like it rised higher. An example of this is when you put ice into a cup of water making the ice float and seeming like there is more water then there really is.
