How can icebergs be used as fresh water?

salt water freezes at a lower temperature than fresh water so the fresh water gets frozen and not the salt water


Are ice glaciers in salt water?

Icebergs that break off into the ocean from glaciers do not contain salt, as they are formed by freshwater on land (snow, ice). Icebergs that form in the ocean mostly do not contain salt either. This is because as the seawater freezes, it forms a crystal structure (ice) that prevents salt ions from being included.


Do icebergs from the North or South Pole taste salty?

The surface of any iceberg will taste salty, because it floats in salt water. The interior ice, however, is frozen fresh water.


Will ice float in salt water?

Yes, icebergs are fresh 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.


Do icebergs have salt in them?

The salt content in icebergs is near zero.


Which is colder frozen water or frozen salt water at melting points?

The freezing point of salted water is lower compared with the freezing point of pure water. So when melting frozen salt water is colder.


Frozen salt water melt faster then frozen fresh water?

Salt lowers the melting or freezing point of water. The effect is termed 'freezing point depression'. Therefore frozen salt water melts faster and remain melted for long.


If sea water is frozen will the salt go away?

no, the salt wont go away it will just be inside the frozen water i don't think salt freezes though.


Do icebergs have salt?

The concentration of sodium chloride in icebergs is very low.


If salt water freezes does the salt freeze to?

If the salt is still in the water it will freeze inside the water so its technically frozen


What process does not add salt to seawater?

Precipitation, land water runoff and the melting of icebergs do not add salts to seawater.
