Sea-Water doesn't freeze

∙ 15y agoYes, seawater expands when frozen into an iceberg because the density of ice is lower than that of liquid water. As the water freezes and forms into ice, it occupies more space, causing it to expand. This expansion is what causes icebergs to float with a portion visible above the water's surface.
No, the density of an iceberg is less than seawater because ice is less dense than water. This is why icebergs float in the ocean.
its liquid and it expands when frozen.
Yes, roughly one-tenth of an iceberg is above water, while about nine-tenths are below the surface. This is due to the difference in densities between ice and seawater.
An iceberg floats because it is less dense than the water it displaces. When ice forms, it expands and becomes less dense than liquid water, allowing it to float. This buoyancy force counteracts the downward force of gravity, keeping the iceberg afloat.
Only 10% of an iceberg floats above water because ice is less dense than water. The majority of the iceberg's mass is submerged to displace enough water to stay afloat. This buoyant force works by balancing the weight of the iceberg.

The freezing point of seawater depends upon it's salinity,which is the amount of salt that it contains. Open ocean seawater has a salinity of about 35. Fresh water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius and 35 water freezes at about -2 degrees C. The decrease is linear so that water with a salinity of 17 freezes at about -1 degree C. [salinity is no longer given units such as parts per thousand] The Titanic sank because it struck an iceberg - an iceberg is NOT frozen seawater but a chunk of a glacier - which is frozen snow (i.e. frozen fresh water)
Frozen .
An iceberg is frozen water. It is not a place where anything grows.

Typically, about 90% of an iceberg is underwater, while only about 10% is visible above the surface. This is because ice is less dense than seawater, causing most of the iceberg to remain submerged.
its liquid and it expands when frozen.

Yes, ice is frozen water that is at or below the freezing temperature of water, which is 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit). If ice were to be exposed to temperatures higher than its freezing point, it would melt and turn back into liquid water.
An iceberg is a mineral because it has a definite chemical composition, it is an inorganic solid, and it is naturally occurring. You might think it is just frozen water but it is not, it is a mineral when it is an iceberg, but when it melts then it is not a mineral.
Water is the only liquid that expands when frozen.
