Well I am a scienctist who specializes in water temperatures in the Alaskan Peninsualla and I observe icebergs. By monitoring the direction in which they are heading and the amount of wind which will force the iceberg to hit land.
Why iceburgs cause danger to ships?
The night of the sinking, the waters were so calm that there wouldn't have been any breaking water visible at the iceberg's base, and the lookout crew members were missing their binoculars which didn't help at all. But if the Titanic wasn't going so fast, their chances of survival would have been really high for it could have survived a head-on collision
Why do you think icebergs are so dangerous to passing ships?
because the pressure of the iceberg is greater than the pressure of the boat and so if the boat hits it, the iceberg will hit the boat, make a hole, and all of the pressure holding the boat up will be released and the ship will sink.
Why are icebergs dangerous to ships?
An iceberg or ice mountain is a large piece of freshwater ice that has broken off a glacier or an ice shelf and is floating freely in open water. The problem with Icebergs is that they float into shipping lanes and because Ice is frozen water they are almost of the same density as water. This means that the bit that you can see sticking up from the sea surface is only a VERY small bit of the iceberg, (typically only one-tenth of the volume of an iceberg is above water). This means that ships can hit the underwater bit even when they are not close to the visible bit.
