Why ice berg is over the water?
Icebergs are formed when chunks of ice break off from glaciers or ice shelves and float in the water. Due to the difference in density between ice and water, only about 10% of an iceberg is visible above the water, with the rest below the surface. This visible portion is what we see "over the water."
Do pieces of ice float in salt water?
I think that salty ice cube do float in water because ice bergs float it water and they're made of salty water. i think i depends on the density (Amount of salt) in the ice
Does ice sink under the cup?
No, ice does not sink under a cup. Ice typically floats in liquids because it is less dense than the liquid it is in, such as water. So when you place ice in a cup of water, it will float on the surface rather than sink.
How does ice change the earth?
it will over flood the earths surface with melt water of the ice berg and detroy land under sea level
Where is fresh water found as found as ice in?
Fresh water is found as ice in glaciers, ice caps, and icebergs. These large bodies of ice form when snow accumulates over time and compacts into ice under high pressure, creating a source of fresh water when melted.
What is the difference between an ice floe and an ice berg?
Ice flows consists of surface ice. Ice bergs are a huge piece of thick ice, the majority of which is under water. It's been said that as much as 80% of an ice berg is under water.
How big is the part of an ice berg that is under the water?
seven-eights of it is below the water
What fraction of a ice berg is underwater?
The part below water is 7 times larger than the part above
How does ice change the earth surface?
it will over flood the earths surface with melt water of the ice berg and detroy land under sea level
Is more of an ice berg under or above?
Though ice is less dense than water but still more of an iceberg is below water due to enormous mass of the iceberg...
Does ice melt in water?
it depends weather its an ice berg ice bergs tend to stay :) Its not difficult, ice melts in water, the warmer the water, the quicker it melts
What is an ice berg?
When glacial ice calves (breaks apart), chunks that fall into the sea float, because ice is less dense than water. These chunks of ice are just like cubes of ice in a glass of water, except larger. 90% of the ice berg will be below the surface of the sea.
What do you get for tipping the ice berg?
1 you cant tip ice berg

What is the largest ice berg recorded?
The largest ice berg recorded is 173km high
Is more of an ice berg in Antarctica under the water or above?
Under.Another answer:According to Wikipedia, "Because the density of pure ice is about 920 kg/m³, and that of sea water about 1025 kg/m³, typically only one-tenth of the volume of an iceberg is above water."
What is a mass of ice?
ice berg
