What percent of an iceberg is below the water and why?
80-85%AnswerThe density of ice is 0.9167 g/cm³. The density of salt water is 1.025 g/cm³.0.9167 g/cm³------------------- = 89.4% ~ 90%1.025 g/cm³Roughly only one eighth of an iceberg can be seen above water. The remaining seven eighths or, 87.5 percent, is submerged due to the weight distribution of the iceberg itself. Top layers of icebergs have relatively lightly packed snow, which is less dense. The more dense core of the iceberg pulls the weight down below the surface of the water. However, since ice is less dense than water, it still remains afloat.Hope this helped some.

i think at a frozen lake !gas above the lake .liquid is the water. and then the solid is the frozen wateransw2. The triple point of water is the temperature at which water may exist in each of its three phases simultaneously. That temperature has been at the 273.16oK defined point for about the last 50 years. Or at 0.16oC.

What percentage of an iceberg can be seen above water?
typically only one-tenth of the volume of an iceberg is above water.
Lighter than what you are made of More of you is hidden Than is seen?
An Iceberg Made of water but ice is lighter than water. Nine tenths of an iceberg is below the surface and so it is unseen.

The clinical iceberg is the number of illnesses or diseases that doctors believe go unreported. The condition gets it name from an actual iceberg, of which there is a much larger mass hidden underwater than what can be seen from the surface.
Where did the idiom that's just the tip of the iceberg come from?
I would assume that it came from the fact that only 25% of an iceberg can be seen above the water. with a logical deduction I would guess that it probably came from ancient Nordic sailors as they would be the only ones coming into close contact with icebergs for a good couple centuries. don't quote me on that though . :D

Has the berg tipped on Club Penguin?
no because i seen vidoes on youtube and i tried to do it but it does not work so if you tried and you did tipped the iceberg you get 100 cions so if you did good for you and if you did not tip the iceberg your out of luck
Did the titanic hit a black burg?
Titanic did not hit a black berg. Black ice is a phenomenon seen on a recently-flipped iceberg but, by all accounts, the iceberg in question was pure white.
