What fraction of an iceberg lies below the surface of water?
about 90%.
Can water molecules evaporate at the surface or below the surface?
water molecules can evaporate at the surface but not below the surface
What percentage of an iceberg's mass is above the waterline?
Between 10 to 20 percent of an iceberg mass is above water. An iceberg is a massive piece of floating ice. Usually, approximately 80 to 90 percent of an iceberg is below sea level. A very large iceberg can be over 230 feet in height and over 738 feet in width.
Where are you if you are 100km below the surface?
If you were 100 km below the surface you would be in the upper mantle / asthenosphere.
Which type of rock can form below Earth's surface or below Earth's surface?
Igneous rock can form deep below the surface as intrusive igneous rock, or on or near the surface as extrusive igneous rock. X Answer is: Igneous
What fraction of an iceberg lies below the surface of water?
about 90%.
What is the total height of the iceberg if three fourths of the height is hidden below the surface of the ocean and the iceberg towers 150 meters about the ocean surface?
1/4 of the iceberg which is 150m, is above sea level, so another 3/4 of it is below. 150 x 4 = 600, so the height of the iceberg is 600m.
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 part of an iceberg which is below water is about seven times the size of the part above water What fraction of the iceberg is above water?
1/8 is.
Can your endometrosis return after surgery in less than 1 year?
Yes. It can grow very quickly. If it is not removed below the surface then it will grow even faster. Think of an iceberg. Much of it is hidden beneath and so it can continue to grow.
What are icebergs and how it made the Titanic ship broke?
They are chunks of floating ice drifting away from polar regions. The density of ice is just a little less than the density of sea water, so most of the volume of an iceberg is below the surface, and so a small-looking iceberg can have a huge volume of ice below the surface. The Titanic ran into an iceberg and was holed below its waterline so the water rushed in and the ship sank.
How do icebergs become higher than the sea and why is the iceberg so big?
For each part of the iceberg you see above the surface, there's a much bigger part below the surface, providing buoyancy for the part that is lifted into the air. Just as with ice cubes, most will float below the surface and a little will float above. The size - well, that's determined first by how they break off from glaciers and shelf ice. Later by erosion and melting.
What percent of an iceberg is below water and why?
i think that an iceberg is half way below because of its censity and it depends of how high the water is
How deep is the iceberg that hit the Titanic?
The exact depth of the iceberg that hit the Titanic may never be known. There are photographs of the iceberg that supposedly hit the Titanic, and the size at the surface was estimated at 100 feet high, upwards to 400 feet long.
What is the number below the fraction bar in a fraction?
The number below the fraction bar in a fraction is the denominator. The number above the fraction bar is the numerator.
What fraction of iceberge is below the water line?
Approximately 9/10 of an iceberg is below the water. The figure is approximate because the density of the berg depends on how must the ice is compacted and how much air it contains. It also depends on the density of the seawater which, in turn, depends on its salinity and temperature.
What percentage is an iceberg underwater?
Typically, only about 10% of any iceberg is above sea-level. This is why we know that the berg that Titanic struck was far larger than the ship.
