Ice floes are frozen masses of seawater (saltwater) that float on the surface of the sea. The term is applied to any relatively flat piece of sea ice that is free moving.
Ice caps are large masses of ice covering land, while ice floes are floating chunks of ice on the ocean's surface. Ice caps are stationary and contribute to sea level rise if they melt, while ice floes play a role in influencing ocean currents and provide platforms for wildlife.
Antarctic seals primarily live along the coast of Antarctica and on surrounding ice floes. They rely on the sea ice for breeding, molting, and resting, as well as for finding food through cracks in the ice.
There aren't really names given for ice that has detached from an iceberg, because the iceberg itself has already detached from its parent ice sheet/shelf on land. The wikipedia entry in the related link explains ice bergs, and gives a broad classification system by size and shape.

These are pieces of ice, as in iceberg. Here are some sentences.The floes broke away from the iceberg and floated out to sea.Ice floes are good resting places for penguins and seals.The ice floe drifted into the path of a passing ship.
Ice floes make noise in the spring due to the melting and movement of ice as temperatures rise. As the ice thaws, it can crack and shift, creating sounds ranging from creaking to booming. This noise results from the expansion and contraction of the ice as it responds to changing temperatures and water levels. Additionally, the interaction between ice floes and water can produce further sounds as they collide or break apart.

Penguins sleep on ice, either on Antarctica's beaches where they breed, or on ice floes in open water.
easy, all you have to do is get a -10 on the ice flows course.
Snows, goes, floes (as in ice floes), toes, shows, etc.
The homophone for "floes" is "flows."
When sea water freezes, the salt is left behind (this is called brine rejection), so ice floes and icebergs are generally composed of fresh water. There have been various schemes to tow icebergs to drought stricken countries, but no one has ever done it yet.
There are no cubes on Astro Knights island. There are ice floes on the Ice Planet, that you jump across to avoid the robot fish.
