The time it takes for an iceberg to melt varies. The size of the berg has a lot to do with it, and some bergs are as large as small states. Yes, you read that correctly. Let's look at a single example. Imagine an iceberg the size of the island of Jamaica. The massive B-15 berg calved off Antarctica in March of 2000, and pieces of it were floating 6 years later.

How long did it take from the time that the icebreg hit the titanic?

How long did it take for water to fill the Titanic?
It took just under 3 hours for the Titanic to sink after striking an iceberg.
Did the Titanic hit a glacier or an iceberg?
yes both pieces of the titanic hit the bottom of the ocean but they landed in seperate spots.
How long did the titanic float for after it was struck by an iceberg?
About 2 hours and 40 minutes.
Why didn't the captain of the Titanic take another route?
Even though the captain received iceberg warnings, they thought that they would see the iceberg in time to turn away. But because of the ship's massive size and speed, it would not turn away from the iceberg in time.
Why do iceburges take long to melt?
I assume you mean "iceberg". If they are large, they will take a long time to melt, since they can only melt at their surface.The time it takes them to melt will also depend on the temperature - as well as the shape of the iceberg.
Does an ice cube melt faster than an ice berg?
An Ice cube melts faster cause an Iceberg is bigger which takes it a long time to melt sometimes it can even take years for an iceberg to melt.
What changes in state will happen to the iceberg?
it will melt
How long will it take for the Pine iceberg in Antarctica to melt?
This berg, which calved off Pine Island, Antarctica, in November 2013, lost significant mass early on, but nearly a year later, remains about six times the size of Manhattan Island in USA's New York City. It is estimated that this berg may be 500 metres thick according to NASA's Earth Observatory. Because its rate of decay is unpredictable, it remains a mystery as to how long it will take the iceberg to melt.
What would happen if you put an iceberg in the desert?
It would MELT!
How long does it take for an official ice hockey rink to melt?
Its a rather broad question of thermodynamics. To determine this you would have to determine the specific heat of iceburg to meet the desired criteria (33 degrees). As well as the amount of joules of energy applied to the iceberg and the ambient temperature surrounding the iceberg. I hope this answer was as broad as the question.
