Will all the creatures in sea die if iceberg melts?
No, they already live underwater, more water will not effect them. Also, when the cold iceberg meets the somewhat warm water, the cold becomes warmer. The whole ocean will NOT be effected, possibly the small grouping around the iceberg. But, most likely no animals will die because if they live by the iceberg they are already used to cold water and have adapted to it...
What happens to water when it changes back from ice into a liquid?
