What is the name given to masses of ice found floating in the the Antarctic Ocean?
Icebergs float in the Southern Ocean, and in the Arctic ocean.
Where is fresh water found as found as ice in?
in the ocean
Would you expect the seawater just below the floating ice in the Arctic Ocean to be higher or lower in salinity then the water in the deep zone there?
When ocean water freezes into sea ice, some of the salt is incorporated into the new ice. Thereafter, that salt drains as brine (salt plus water), causing the layer of water below to be of higher salinity.
Are the north and south pole ice caps?
There are glaciers in the Arctic, but the North Pole itself is not glaciated. This is because, by their very definition, glaciers are regions of fresh water ice on land, and quite different to sea ice. The North Pole itself does not lie on any land mass, but on a floating ice sheet known as the Greenland or Arctic ice sheet - therefore, there can be no glaciers on the North Pole.
Why is the North Pole a piece of floating ice?
The North Pole is situated in the Arctic Ocean, where the temperature is never warm enough to melt the thick sea ice that freezes much of the year.
What is the name given to masses of ice found floating in the the Antarctic Ocean?
Icebergs float in the Southern Ocean, and in the Arctic ocean.

What do you call floating ice formations in the arctic and the Antarctic Ocean?
Glaciers
What is the meaning of iceberg?

What ocean is located at 90 North latitude?
The latitude of the North Pole is 90 degrees North. Therefore, the ocean would be the Arctic Ocean, though covered mainly by a vast floating ice cap.
What is the Ross Ice Shelf?
The Ross ice Shelf is a floating ice shelf connected to the Antarctic continent, that is about the size of France. The ocean under the shelf has never been explored.
What is a floating sea ice formed by a mix of icebergs with other ice formed in super chilled ocean waters?
arctic?
Where is fresh water found as found as ice in?
in the ocean
Why would melting icebergs raise ocean levels since floating ice cubes do not raise water levels when they melt?
u got a point there dude
Is the North Pole on a continent?
No, The North Pole is an imaginary point on a floating ice sheet in the Arctic Ocean.
WHERE DO the ATLANTIC OCEAN AND PACIFIC OCEAN MEEET?
In the waters between South America and Antarctica. Also in the waters under the North Pole (which is floating ice).
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.
