∙ 12y agoIt depends on how large it is. Icebergs vary quite a bit in size.
The average iceberg in the Grand Banks area of Newfoundland (Canada) weighs between one and two hundred thousand tonnes. This is about the size of a 15 storey building in the shape of a cube. Icebergs more than double that size are found off Antarctica.

∙ 12y agoIcebergs come from large pieces of a glacier that are now floating on the water.
The glacier will have a temperature several degrees below that of 0deg C, but ice does have thermal conductivity, and eventually will melt. The ice towards the outside will approach closely the temperature of the surrounding water but still has to gain much heat in order to transit from ice to water. Remember latent heat of fusion?
So melting is slow, but inexorable. The ice a few metres in will be colder, but determined by the source temperature.

How does icebergs affect the water?
well the temperature of the earth is rising, and since icebergs are pretty much big chucks of frozen water, when they melt were stuffed 'cause it'll end up with probably half the earth underwater

What name is given to a number of icebergs?
A group of icebergs is referred to as an armada. When naming icebergs, they are given a number and a letter. They are then tracked.
Are there any months when there are no icebergs?
Depends on the latitude. Sufficiently close to the poles there are ALWAYS icebergs. And sufficiently close to the equator there are NEVER icebergs. After that, icebergs or not is always a probability influenced by latitude and season.
