No. Salt water doesn't freeze at temperatures you'd find in the ocean. Icebergs are pieces of freshwater glaciers that have fallen into the ocean.
This is because of the diet of the male, depending on the diet it is said that women would prefer males to have a better diet and thus leading the the sperm tasting better.
They actually do, but they melt slowly. The water us usually very cold, and it takes a while (depending on the size of the berg).
Ice bergs do not form in the ocean. They are pieces of glaciers that have broken off and fallen into the water. Since glaciers are created by compacted snow, they are fresh water.
a) Fresh water has a lower density than salt water
b) Ice has a lower density than water
Both contribute to the buoyancy of icebergs.
Yes, plastic drinking straws will float in water.
No, because a hockey puck has a higher density than water. In some cases, objects with higher density than water can still float on the water, if they are small enough to avoid breaking the surface tension of the water. This is also the case if the object's mass is distributed across a large enough area, so you could float a penny on water if you put it down flat across the water, but it would not float if you dropped it in on its side. You also could not float that penny if you melted it down and made it into a sphere, for example.
It depends on the shape of the fork and the material from which it is made. Most non-metal (wood, plastic) forks will float. Metal forks will sink unless they are shaped to have a large enough surface area on the bottom.
Assuming the paper clip to be made of iron or aluminum To understand this you will need to study buoyancy and stuff... let me explain buoyancy in a nutshell, buoyancy is the upward force exerted by a fluid( gas or liquid) on any object partially or fully submerged in it. for example, when you try pushing a plastic beaker in a tumbler of water, you would have definitely felt a push this is buoyant force. buoyant force = volume of object immersed * density of the fluid * g. As a paper clip possesses a greater volume it experiences a greater amount of buoyancy which keeps it afloat. however a nail which has a comparable lesser volume sinks. hope it helps
Dry paper is less dense than water and will float. But paper is absorbent: when in contact with water, it will start to absorb water into its fibers. This increases the density, so eventually it becomes saturated and sinks. Paper boats can be made, where only a small portion of the sheet is touching the water, slowing the absorption rate and allowing it to float much longer.
Icebergs are just huge amounts of frozen seawater. no, freshwater
All glaciers and icebergs are made of freshwater. Glacial melt water is better for you because it is freshwater, which is clean and pure unlike the water from some rivers or the sea which have to be filtered.
Glaciers are made of ice, which is less dense than water. Therefore, fragments of glaciers that break off into water, called icebergs, will float.
Icebergs are made of fresh water.
An iceberg floats because water is one of the few substances that is slightly denser as a liquid than as a solid. This is why ice cubes float in water icebergs are made from fresh water. Because of the dissolved salts in ocean water, it is denser than freshwater, adding bouyancy to the icebergs. Most icebergs actually contain a lot of air. Far from being the solid blocks of ice many people imagine, icebergs are riddled with billions of tiny, trapped air bubbles, giving the huge bergs their white appearance. Yes and if you want to get more specific, the density of ice 0.9g/cm cubed and the density of water is 1 g/cm cubed so if you think of this out of 100, 90% of the iceberg is underwater and 10% is above the water. All has to do with density.
Icebergs and ice are less dense than water, so they naturally float. The way their molecules are organised they have way more volume for the amount of mass they have than equal mass of liquid water. Cold water can be denser than warmer water, the molecules are closer together and not vibrating as much, so it sinks below warmer or less denser water (or any other liquid). It's the opposite of what happens with icebergs, even though they're made of the same stuff.
They aren't made of salt water. They may taste salty on the outside due to sea spray, but the ice itself is freshwater.
Icebergs are blocks of fresh-water ice that break off from glaciers and float out to sea. They are made from snow that has fallen hundreds or even thousands of years.

Because they are made up of fresh water, which is less dense than salt water. The global-warming problem is also effected by the ammount of fresh water introduced into the oceans by melting icebergs.

Freshwater ice is formed from moisture, and over mellennia, can form enough ice to calve off an ice sheet and produce icebergs. Humidity in Antarctica is only about five percent, so ice formation in the ice sheet is a lengthy process.
