What happens to icebergs after they have broken off a glacier or ice sheet?
They float away from the poles and gradually melt.
How do icebergs form relating to the properties of water?
Icebergs are masses of ice that have broken off of glaciers. The glaciers are formed from the compaction of snow by gravity into a dense ice.
What is the name given to masses of ice found floating in the the Antarctic Ocean?
Icebergs float in the Southern Ocean, and in the Arctic ocean.
Why do glaciers float and not sink to the bottom of the ocean?
Glaciers are made of ice, which is less dense than water. Therefore, fragments of glaciers that break off into water, called icebergs, will float.
What are the different types of icebergs in Antarctica?

How far north do icebergs come in Antarctica?
Icebergs float north until they melt completely.

Icebergs
How is a iceberg formed?
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.

Will ice float in salt water?

Why icebergs float on water is iceberg heavier or lighter than water?

Why do icebergs float on the Arctic and Antarctic seas?
In the Arctic, sea ice forms from water cooled below the freezing point, at about -1.8 °C or 28.8 °F. When the salt precipitates, the fresh water freezes into ice. In the Antarctic, most icebergs are produced by coastal glaciers, formed from compressed snow over many years. Because water expands when it freezes, ice is less dense than the sea water, and will float at the surface. However, most sea ice floes and icebergs still have most of their mass below the surface.
Where are the largest icebergs found?
in green land and Antarcticasomewhere in the south pole'Another AnswerIcebergs are calved off permanent glaciers, which you can find in the high latitudes in both hemispheres. All icebergs, by definition, float in sea water. As the bergs float into warmer water, they melt.
