If the the level of water in a container is compared before and after the fusion, it can be realized that the ice has a higher level than that of liquid water: solid and liquid water does not have the same volume.
We can generalize:
A state change always causes a change in volume.
Comment:
Water is an exception, volume increases during a melting for most of substances.
