How is the water in icebergs involved in the water cycle on earth?
noelle
What are four ways in which fresh water is naturally added to seawater decreasing its salinity?
Precipitation, runoff from land, icebergs melting, and sea ice melting.
How might the fact that icebergs and glaciers consist of fresh water make them useful to people?
The fresh water from icebergs and glaciers can be melted and used as drinking water or for irrigation purposes, helping to address water scarcity in certain regions. Additionally, the melting of icebergs can contribute to the replenishment of freshwater sources such as lakes and rivers. The purity of fresh water from icebergs and glaciers also makes it valuable for scientific research and potentially for use in industries that require high-quality water.
What would happen if the icebergs melt?
Not much. Icebergs are already floating in the oceans, so any melting will not raise sea levels. Melting icebergs add fresh water to the oceans, but this will only matter if huge amounts of ice melt.
How does waters state change in the water cycle?
Q. As water moves through the water cycle, it changes state as it ________or _______energy? A. As it absorbs or releases energy.
What would happen if the icebergs started melting?
Icebergs are already melting, but they only add very slightly to sea level rise (Icebergs are fresh water, which is slightly less dense than sea water).
Will the melting of icebergs flood your coast?
No. Icebergs are in the water already, so their melting does not raise sea levels.Glaciers and land ice when they melt do raise the sea levels.
How is the water in icebergs involved in the water cycle on earth?

What process does not add salt to seawater?
Precipitation, land water runoff and the melting of icebergs do not add salts to seawater.
Are icebergs affected by climate change?
Yes, icebergs are breaking off from ice shelves, floating away and then melting. Global warming is causing the atmosphere to be warmer and this is melting the ice.
What are the effects of icebergs melting?
Icebergs melting adds fresh water to the oceans. Icebergs are floating already, so when they melt they do not cause a rise in sea levels. Glaciers and land ice, like the Greenland ice-cap, and any ice on Antarctica, do cause a rise in sea levels when they melt.
What are four ways in which fresh water is naturally added to seawater decreasing its salinity?
Precipitation, runoff from land, icebergs melting, and sea ice melting.
How do Antarctic icebergs keep changing?
Icebergs once calved off the glaciers that breed them, respond to liquid water by melting and changing their center of gravity which can turn them upside down.
How does melting ice into water and then letting the water evaporate?
Tis cycle is melting to a liquid-------evaporation to a gas.
What process is making the Atlantic ocean get bigger over time?
Global warming is melting the icebergs, raising the water level
How do icebergs affect their environment?
The icebergs affect the environment by melting and the melted ice will turn into water.then the water in the oceans will rise thus may cause drowning many people in one island
How is the connected to the water cycle?
Tsunamis bring large amount of water. It disrupts water cycle.
