Icebergs are made of sea water or fresh water or both?
Icebergs are made of fresh water.
What kind of water is used to make an iceberg salt water or fresh water?
Fresh Water cause 2 % of the 3 percent of fresh water on Earth is in the icecaps, glaciers, and icebergs.
How might the fact that icebergs and glaciers consist of fresh water make them useful to people?
The fresh water from icebergs and glaciers can be melted and used as drinking water or for irrigation purposes, helping to address water scarcity in certain regions. Additionally, the melting of icebergs can contribute to the replenishment of freshwater sources such as lakes and rivers. The purity of fresh water from icebergs and glaciers also makes it valuable for scientific research and potentially for use in industries that require high-quality water.
Will ice float in salt water?
Yes, icebergs are fresh water.
How much of earth fresh water is in icebergs and glaciers?
3%
describe 2 sources of fresh water?
icebergs, rivers
What is the only fresh water part of an ocean?
Icebergs are the only freshwater part of an ocean. When icebergs melt, it results in a decrease in the salinity of ocean water.
Is snow made from fresh water?
I should think it would be made of salt water since the icebergs I have heard of are all in the ocean. They are pure water as they are created from glaciers and since glacier ice is formed from falling snow and snow results from condensed water vapor in the atmosphere, the water from icebergs is quite pure.
What would happen if the icebergs started melting?
Icebergs are already melting, but they only add very slightly to sea level rise (Icebergs are fresh water, which is slightly less dense than sea water).
Why is desalination of water and the use of icebergs as fresh water options are too expensive to be used at the moment?
Icebergs are a long way from where the water is most needed, so getting them to where they could be used would cost a lot of money. Desalination is used, to some extent, but it requires a fair amount of machinery and energy, which also means that it's expensive.

Where is the majority of earths fresh water stored in glaciers icecaps and icebergs lakes plants or the atmosphere?
In the Polar ice caps, about 69% of the worlds fresh water is in them.
