How many different types of ice?
there r three types of ice..dry ice,wet ice.and floating ice.
Do molecules of ice have less mass than the molecules of water?
Mass is just "the amount of stuff there is". We can measure it in kg. If I have 4kg ice and 4kg water, then the answer is "no", but I could just as easily have 4kg of ice and 5kg water, in which case the answer is "yes". If you mean "does freezing water make it heavier?", then the answer is no - 4kg water makes 4kg ice, and they will weigh the same. However, ice has a greater volume than water*, so freezing water will make it expand. *This is not true for every liquid/solid combo.
Beverage glass is filled to the brim with ice cold water 0C and ice cubes Some of the ice cubes are floating above the water level When the ice melts the water in the glass will?
When all the ice melts (it will take a while with the water at 0C), the water level in the glass will not be in any danger of overflowing the container because water is one of those rare liquids that expands when it freezes. (This is why a closed glass container of water put into a freezer will break.) This means that it contracts as it melts.The specific water level of the glass will depend on how much ice was floating above the water level, but it won't be in any danger of overflowing. As a matter of fact, the water level will actually be lower than the rim of the glass.
Why does weight melt ice?
The melting of ice represents a change of state (solid to liquid). When ice melts, nothing "disappears" from where it melted. The mass of the water is the same as that of the ice. Think of it in terms of molecules of water - the number stays the same and the mass will be the same. So, with the same force pulling those molecules down (gravity), there is no reason for mass to change as everything is still there. It's like weighing an apple, smashing it up, and weighing it again. It'll stay (roughly) the same. Thankyou for the answer on my homework
Ice has a density of 92gcm3 What is the mass in kg of 20m3 if ice?
Ice has a density of 916,8 kilograms per cubic meter or 0.9128 grams per cubic centimeter. 20 cubic meters of ice weigh then 20 times 916,8 = 18336 kilograms = 18.336 tonnes.

How do you spell iceberg?
That is the correct spelling of "iceberg" (floating ice mass, or type of lettuce).
This floating chunk of ice is called?
Chunks do not really mean something very small like most people may think,it could be a large particle or huge mass. Floating chunks of ice from ice sheets or ice shelves (land ice) are called "ICEBERGS", while large areas of floating sea ice are called "ICE FLOES".
What is a floating mass of fresh water in the sea?
An iceberg. A piece of ice that has broken away from an icepack.
Which region has no mass under the ice the North Pole or the South Pole?
The North Pole. It sits on a floating ice sheet.The North Pole is not on a continent. It is on a very large floating ice sheet in the Arctic Ocean.You'll find the North Pole in the Arctic Ocean.
