According to the RDPL: Because the orange (long wavelengths) part of white light is absorbed by ice and the blue (short wavelengths) light is transmitted and scattered. The longer the path light travels in ice, the bluer it appears
The purity and age of the ice also play an important factor in the color of ice in glaciers. As the ice ages it is compressed, melted and frozen again eliminating air bubbles that scatter the light rays and bounce them back out in the same color they came in (white). Once the ice becomes pure the light waves are much more likely to be absorbed promoting the deep blue color.
air pollution due to emmision of dangerous gases like smoke, and automobiles exhaust,etc.
also aurura burea affect it...
plz rate
why do glaciers make water look mikly blue
Glaciers look blue because they are made of ice, which reflects the color of the sky.
icebergs are purple
The cold of the icebergs cause clouds to condense closer to the surface of the ice & water.
no idea
No. Icebergs are in the water already, so their melting does not raise sea levels.Glaciers and land ice when they melt do raise the sea levels.
Frozen water.
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.
Icebergs themselves are colorless. The appearance of color in icebergs is the result of reflected and refracted light.
There are no icebergs in Australia.
because it is a ice and it is big
of course he was notified by icebergs
From giant icebergs around Greenland.
The salt content in icebergs is near zero.
A group of icebergs is referred to as an armada. When naming icebergs, they are given a number and a letter. They are then tracked.
Depends on the latitude. Sufficiently close to the poles there are ALWAYS icebergs. And sufficiently close to the equator there are NEVER icebergs. After that, icebergs or not is always a probability influenced by latitude and season.
Icebergs are made of ice and since the greenhouse gases are making the earth warmer the icebergs are melting.
From giant icebergs around Greenland.
icebergs are helpful because they make lakes and ponds
Icebergs don't have names or numbers.
