What is the term for the process by which a portion of a glacier breaks off and falls into the water?
The answer is a term called, Glacial Calving
What is the term for a large block of ice that breaks off from a glacier or ice sheet and floats in the sea?
Iceberg would be a large piece of ice broken off from a glacier, bergy bit a smaller piece with only a one to four meters showing, and a growler would be less than one meter.

A large piece of ice that breaks off an ice shelf and drifts into the ocean?
This phenomenon is known as an iceberg calving. Iceberg calving occurs when a large piece of ice breaks off from a glacier or ice shelf and floats into the ocean, forming an iceberg. This process is a natural part of the glacier's movement and can be triggered by various factors, such as temperature changes or the ice shelf's structure.
What is more ancient a glacier or an iceberg?
A glacier is older than an iceberg, because an iceberg is a piece of ice that fell off a glacier.
What is the proccess by which glaciers make icebergs?
When a glacier flows into the sea, it breaks off chunks of ice at the edge, forming icebergs in a process called calving. The icebergs then float away from the glacier and into the open ocean.
What is the term for a large block of ice that breaks off from a glacier and floats in the sea?
Glacierette
When a piece of sponge breaks off and grows into a new sponge what is this called?
This OS the process called budding. A new polyp will form from the part that broke off.
What is it called when I have breaks off the glacier and becomes an iceberg?
New icebergs float on sea water and are broken away from the ice floe in a process called calving. The iceberg calvesoff the floe.
