Is snow made from fresh water?
I should think it would be made of salt water since the icebergs I have heard of are all in the ocean. They are pure water as they are created from glaciers and since glacier ice is formed from falling snow and snow results from condensed water vapor in the atmosphere, the water from icebergs is quite pure.
How does the water that makes up icebergs differ from the surrounding ocean water?
The Iceberg if made up of fresh water on top and saltwater at the bottom.
How does the that makes up icebergs differ from the surrounding ocean water?
The Iceberg if made up of fresh water on top and saltwater at the bottom.
Are icebergs fresh water or salt water?
Icebergs are made up of frozen freshwater from glaciers and ice sheets. When the ice melts, it releases freshwater into the surrounding ocean, affecting salinity levels in the immediate vicinity.
Why do ichebergs float?
Because they are made up of fresh water, which is less dense than salt water. The global-warming problem is also effected by the ammount of fresh water introduced into the oceans by melting icebergs.
Are icebergs formed from frozen salt water?
No, icebergs are formed from freshwater ice. Saltwater freezes at a lower temperature than freshwater, so icebergs are made up of frozen freshwater from glaciers or ice shelves. When glaciers break off into the ocean, they form icebergs.
Are swamps made up of salt water or fresh water?
Swamps are made of both.
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.
How is iceberg form?
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.
Is icebergs more or less dense than water?
Icebergs are less dense than water because they are made mostly of frozen freshwater, which has a lower density than liquid water. This causes icebergs to float in water with a portion of their mass sticking out above the surface.
If the worlds icebergs all melted what effect would this have on our planet?
Icebergs float, so their melting will not make much difference to sea levels. They are made of fresh water, and fresh water is less dense than salt water, so sea levels will rise, but only slightly.Ice caps (sitting on land) and glaciers, however, if they melt (Greenland and Antarctica) will raise sea levels by 200 feet or more (60 metres).
Why are icebergs made of freshwater but float in salt water?
No. Salt water doesn't freeze at temperatures you'd find in the ocean. Icebergs are pieces of freshwater glaciers that have fallen into the ocean.This is because of the diet of the male, depending on the diet it is said that women would prefer males to have a better diet and thus leading the the sperm tasting better.
