no not necessarily if fresh water gets too cold it can form an iceberg too.
No, when water freeze it does not freeze salt.
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.
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.
The salt content in icebergs is near zero.
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 the salt is still in the water it will freeze inside the water so its technically frozen
salt water freezes at a lower temperature than fresh water so the fresh water gets frozen and not the salt water

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

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

no, the salt wont go away it will just be inside the frozen water i don't think salt freezes though.
The concentration of sodium chloride in icebergs is very low.
If the salt is still in the water it will freeze inside the water so its technically frozen
Precipitation, land water runoff and the melting of icebergs do not add salts to seawater.
