What ocean contains lots of icebergs?
According to NationalGeographic.com, most icebergs form around Alaska, Greenland and Antarctica. This means that the oceans most prone to icebergs are the Arctic Ocean (nearest to Greenland and Alaska) and the North Atlantic Ocean, and the Southern Ocean (around Antarctica).
Salt melts ice so why doesn't the icebergs melt in the ocean?
They do. It just a slow process.
This large floating chunk of ice can mean danger for ships sailing to antarctica?
icebergs
When will the icebergs melt completely?
Certainly when the sun turns into a red giant. Prior to that no one can say with certainty.
What happens to icebergs after they have broken off a glacier or ice sheet?
They float away from the poles and gradually melt.
How far north do icebergs come in Antarctica?
Icebergs float north until they melt completely.
How cold does the ozone layer have to be to so icebergs dont melt?
The temp of the ozone layer has no affect on icebergs.
How fast do icebergs move?
Quite simple. They dont move. They melt.
What are the effects of icebergs melting?
Icebergs melting adds fresh water to the oceans. Icebergs are floating already, so when they melt they do not cause a rise in sea levels. Glaciers and land ice, like the Greenland ice-cap, and any ice on Antarctica, do cause a rise in sea levels when they melt.
Are icebergs smallest near Antarctica?
No, they are largest near the continent where the calve off. As they float in sea water, they melt and become smaller, regardless of where they are located.
Will icebergs melt in five years?
Most free icebergs (no longer attached to ice shelves or glaciers) will have melted within five years. There will still be ice cover on Greenland, Antarctica and high mountains in five years.
Are there icebergs in antarctica?
Yes there are many Ice bergs in Antarctica.
What are the ice burgs called in Antarctica?
Icebergs.
What country can you see icebergs all year long?
Antarctica. Further information: Whilst it is true that you can see icebergs in Antarctica all year long, Antarctica is a continent, not a country. Iceland has ice all year round, and icebergs are evident even in Summer.
Would Antarctica melt?
Antarctica is a continent, and continents do not melt.
When do icebergs form summer or winter in Antarctica?
both
In what way can the icebergs of Antarctica can be used?
Since calved-off icebergs from Antarctica contain pure water without any minerals, if it were technically possible, pure water could be harvested from icebergs. However, no one has devised that technology to date.
