Over 90% of an iceberg's volume (and mass) is underwater. Therefore 10% is above the water.
A glacier is a flow of ice downhill, driven by snow and ice accumulating in the mountains. When a part of the glacier breaks off and begins to float on the sea, it becomes an iceberg.

How do glaciers flow?
glaciers move slowly but when theres alot of rain the water and the glaciers move faster
Does a valley glacier cover cover much of the island of Greenland?
no, its a continental glacier that does that.
Are glacier's stiff and rigid?
No, Weird huh? When you get that much ice in one place the weight and pressure make it move like a plastic and "Flow" almost like water or Lava. The glacier flows down the valley advancing as it melts.
Snowfall and its relation to glacier size?
Glaciers form where more snow falls than melts. So, it really depends where the glacier is. If the area snows like crazy a lot, the size of the glacier would be big. If it doesn't snow that much there, the glacier would probably melt much faster, and be less big.

How is a body of water formed by glacier movement?
well, a body of water is formed by glacier movement because while the glacier is moving parts of it is falling in the ocean. The glaciers are much colder then the water when the glacier falls water is formed in the water because of the melting ice.

How much of an iceberg is visible above the water line?
About 1/8. Ice in icebergs is usually pure water, whereas the sea is salty.

Can you help to put glacier in a sentence?

What example of water transferring from the atmosphere to the cryosphere?
In New Zealand there are Franz Josef glacier and Fox glacier In the French Alps there is the Mer de Glace The largest glaciers in the world are the ice sheets on Greenland, the second largest glacier in the world, and the ice sheet on Antarctica is the largest in the world. glaciers are riveres of ice that moves very slowly.
