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.
For the most part icebergs are fresh water. The reason is that when ice
freezes slowly enough to not trap salt water inclusions, the complex crystal
structure of ice
does not provide any space for the salt to become incorporated into the
crystal structure.
No, icebergs are pure water with very few contaminants. The salt is left behind when the water freezes. Are icebergs salty? No. Icebergs are comprised of pure fresh water. There may be some dust embedded in the ice and salt water may be on the surface but it does not penetrate the ice. Iceberg ice is quite safe to consume. from: http://www.wordplay.com/tourism/icebergs/
An iceberg, if melted, would be fresh water, or at least much less salty than seawater. There are a couple of reasons for this: * Icebergs tend to break off from glaciers as they reach the sea, and glaciers start out as precipitation (that is, fresh water). * Fresh water freezes at a higher temperature than salt water, so when freshwater ice contacts seawater, what happens is that some of the water component of the seawater freezes and the remaining seawater gets very slightly more salty.
True icebergs are galcier fragments that have fallen into the sea. Glaciers are made of compacted snow, which is fresh water.
Yes, glaciers and icebergs are both made of fresh water. Glaciers are ultimately formed from snow and icebergs are fragments of glaciers that have broken off.
fresh water
Because winter brings a lot of melted snow. that's fresh water. it snows just about everywhere, therefore the fresh water from the snow goes into the wetlands, causing more freshwater in the wetlands during spring.
first of all, the proper grammer isIs stream water fresh water or salt water? now to answer your question;streams come from rivers, that come from mountainsthe mountains snow melts to fill the riverssnow is made in clouds, clouds get their water from the oceanthe ocean is salt water, but the clouds cant pick up saltso it is fresh water
Snow and ice are made out of frozen crystallized water.
ice and snow
Fresh Water!!
Snow is made from freshwater. When the water evaporates and rises into the clouds, only the water goes up, not the minerals the water contains, so when it comes back to earth as snow or rain, it comes back as fresh water.
Approximately 68.7% of Earth's fresh water is stored in ice caps, glaciers, and permanent snow.
Fresh water from the Rocky Mountain snow melt.
True because snow can melt into a liquid so it is fresh water
The main sources of fresh water on land are snow and rain which fall as precipitation.
Icebergs are made of fresh water.
water draines into lakes and rivers...
Because winter brings a lot of melted snow. that's fresh water. it snows just about everywhere, therefore the fresh water from the snow goes into the wetlands, causing more freshwater in the wetlands during spring.
3% of the world is made of fresh water
No, snow is a form of water.
snow is not about anything its made out of frozen water
From the sky (as snow, rain or mist/fog). Note the planet Earth has a WATER CYCLE, fresh water production is part of this cycle.
