A glacier is a frozen river, which forms in freezing conditions high up in mountains. As it reaches lower altitudes, it may melt. However, in some parts of the world, especially in Greenland and in Antarctica, the air is so cold that the glacier can reach the sea and remain frozen. When this happens, the glacier pushes the frozen water out into the ocean. Eventually, under the influence of wave action or internal stresses, a lump of ice breaks off. This process is known as calving. The lump of ice is now free to float away. It is called an iceberg.
What else can I help you with?
What do rivers ponds streams glaciers and icebergs all contain?
Water in its various forms - liquid in rivers, ponds, and streams; solid in glaciers and icebergs.
Are icebergs from the north or south pole?
Icebergs can come from both the North and South poles. Generally, icebergs in the Northern Hemisphere come from Arctic glaciers, while those in the Southern Hemisphere come from Antarctic glaciers.
Do icebergs have salt in them?
No, icebergs are made of freshwater. They form from compacted snow that falls on land and then flows into the ocean as glaciers. Saltwater ice formations are typically sea ice, not icebergs.
Are there icebergs in the Black Sea?
No, there are no icebergs in the Black Sea. Icebergs are large chunks of ice that break off from glaciers or ice shelves in the Arctic or Antarctic regions, and the Black Sea does not have the conditions necessary for icebergs to form.
How do icebergs form relating to the properties of water?
Icebergs form when chunks of ice break off from glaciers or ice shelves and float in the ocean. This happens due to the unique property of water expanding when it freezes, making ice less dense than liquid water. As a result, the frozen ice floats on the surface of the ocean, forming icebergs.
Were do people find icebergs?
in the sea. Icebergs are broken pieces of glaciers which float out to sea.
What is the forming of icebergs into glaciers called?
calving
What do rivers ponds streams glaciers and icebergs all contain?
Water in its various forms - liquid in rivers, ponds, and streams; solid in glaciers and icebergs.
How are glacier and iceberg different?
Icebergs are large chunks that broke off of glaciers by a process called calving. They move quickly in comparison to glaciers Icebergs are smaller
Are icebergs from the north or south pole?
Icebergs can come from both the North and South poles. Generally, icebergs in the Northern Hemisphere come from Arctic glaciers, while those in the Southern Hemisphere come from Antarctic glaciers.
Where would you see glaciers?
well all glaciers are gone except for some icebergs and kettles or moraines at anokijig will teach you what the glaciers did
How much of earth fresh water is in icebergs and glaciers?
3%
What come from glaciers that have broken off and float in water?
Icebergs
Are glaciers hotter than fire?
no!!!! glaciers are ice!!!!!!!!!!! ........what a moroon... you must be thinking about icebergs.. glaciers is boiling-gassed liquids you ignorant person
How are Glaciers and Landslides alike?
Glaciers and landslides are alike because overtime they will decay and fall over
How do glaciers and icebergs work together?
Icebergs are created when chunks of the glacier break off into the sea. They don't necessarily "work together".
Do icebergs have salt in them?
No, icebergs are made of freshwater. They form from compacted snow that falls on land and then flows into the ocean as glaciers. Saltwater ice formations are typically sea ice, not icebergs.
