On average, about 10% of an iceberg is above the surface, while the rest (90%) is below the surface. The amount visible above the water depends on factors like the iceberg's shape, density, and buoyancy.

How do icebergs become higher than the sea and why is the iceberg so big?

For each part of the iceberg you see above the surface, there's a much bigger part below the surface, providing buoyancy for the part that is lifted into the air. Just as with ice cubes, most will float below the surface and a little will float above. The size - well, that's determined first by how they break off from glaciers and shelf ice. Later by erosion and melting.


Why is air pressure greater below the wing's surface?

It's not so much that the air pressure below a wing is greater as it is the pressure above it is less. The way a wing works, is the airfoil (shape of the wing) accelerates the air above the wing. Since the air is moving faster, it lowers the air pressure, resulting in a lower pressure above, and a higher(standard) pressure below, creating lift.


Approximately how much of earth's surface is above sea level?

About 29% of Earth's surface is above sea level, with the remaining 71% covered by oceans.


Why ice berg is over the water?

Icebergs are formed when chunks of ice break off from glaciers or ice shelves and float in the water. Due to the difference in density between ice and water, only about 10% of an iceberg is visible above the water, with the rest below the surface. This visible portion is what we see "over the water."


What is the difference between an ice floe and an ice berg?

Ice flows consists of surface ice. Ice bergs are a huge piece of thick ice, the majority of which is under water. It's been said that as much as 80% of an ice berg is under water.

Where is the force of gravity stronger below or above the Earths surface?

I'd assume Yes. It makes sence that the further you get from the earth the lesser it's pull of gravity, although it would be a miniscule difference. However, the denser gasses that collect within a mile from earth may cancel out this minimal difference or even make it greater.
