If an iceberg is made of water and its solid and if its in water and its liquid how does the iceberg float?

Water is unusual in that as it freezes it expands, thus water's density is less when a solid than as a liquid, interestingly water is most dense around 4C.

Can an iceberg sink?
no. it melts An iceberg will float as long as it is in water. If you could put an iceberg in a liquid less dense than ice, the iceberg would sink.
What happens if density of a solid substance is more than liquid?
It sinks in the liquid. A steel bolt has a density greater that that of water. Drop it in water, it sinks.
What are the three phases of water?
Ice, Water, and Steam.Bonus answer: Plasma!
Which object can be solid liquid and gas?
Water. It can be found as liquid water, ice, and steam.
Is ice liquid or gas?
Ice is water in its solid form. When it melts, it is water in its liquid form.
Can an iceberg sink?
no. it melts An iceberg will float as long as it is in water. If you could put an iceberg in a liquid less dense than ice, the iceberg would sink.
Is it impossible for a solid to float on a liquid?
no ice floats on water
Is an iceberg a solid liquid or a gas?
Icicles are frozen water. It's a solid.
How do you know whether something will float or sink?
It depends on the density of the solid, liquid, or gas. If the density is lower than water it will float. (Water's density is about 1). Also, if the volume of the solid, liquid, or gas is bigger than the mass then it will also float. It will sink if the solid, liquid, or gas's density is higher than water's density. :)
Why does an iceberg float in the ocean?
Icebergs float in the ocean because the iceberg is less dense than the water.
What happens if density of a solid substance is more than liquid?
It sinks in the liquid. A steel bolt has a density greater that that of water. Drop it in water, it sinks.
An ice cube floats in your glass of water just as an iceberg floats in the ocean.What conclusion can you draw about the density of solid water?
liquid water is more dense than solid water
Ice floats in water does frozen HNO3 float in liquid HNO3?
Besides water, a substance in solid form is more dense. At the least dense substance floats, HN03 will not float in liquid HN03. ;)
What caused the iceberg the Titanic hit to keep floating?
First of all the question is worded horribly the iceberg (solid water) always floats because it is less dense than liquid water. as for the titanic, it sunk
Is water more dense as a solid then a liquid?
No, less dense. That's why ice cubes and bergs float.
Why does a iceberg float in the ocean?
Ice is less dense than water.
Why icebergs float on water is iceberg heavier or lighter than water?
