What occurs when overhangs from a glacier break off and fall into the ocean?
calving
What is a glaciers that floats away in the ocean?
Icebergs are glaciers that typically break off of ice shelves.
Why do glaciers float and not sink to the bottom of the ocean?
Glaciers are made of ice, which is less dense than water. Therefore, fragments of glaciers that break off into water, called icebergs, will float.
Where do glaciers go after they move?
ocean
Can melting glaciers increase ocean acidity?
No. Melting glaciers add clean fresh water to the oceans, so their melting decreases ocean acidity.

How does a iceburg form?
Icebergs are formed when large pieces of ice break off of glaciers. These chunks of ice will begin to float away until they reach the ocean.
Can melting glaciers increase ocean acidity?
No. Melting glaciers add clean fresh water to the oceans, so their melting decreases ocean acidity.
What happens when glaciers move?
Dont know actually so please give me the answer :)
What is the narrow zone on the mid-ocean ridge crest where most geologic activity occurs?
The neovolcanic zone of the mid-ocean mountain ridges. The zone around Iceland is very active and some volcanoes have large glaciers formed above them.
