How do ice bergs form?

Answer 1

Icebergs are giant pieces of ice floating through a body of water. They are created when bits break off of a glacier or an ice shelf.

Answer 2

They break away from glaciers and float for long distances and periods of time. The part under water is bigger than the part showing outside so how long it will last? it all depends how big. Some break up as they flip around due to this diferences in size inside and outside the water and as they break they also form smaller units of ice which also keep floating making seas look like a maze of ice bits.

Answer 3

First, a glacier is formed. After that the glacier falls apart in the spring/summer when the ice melts. The water eventually wears down the ice to create a smooth surface. Then you got yourself an iceberg!

Answer 4

Icebergs form when chunks of ice break off from glaciers or ice shelves and float into the ocean. This process, known as calving, can occur due to a variety of factors such as rapid melting of ice, strong winds, or the shifting of the ice itself. The size and shape of icebergs can vary greatly, with some reaching sizes larger than skyscrapers.

Answer 5

An iceberg forms when a large piece of ice breaks off a glacier or ice sheet and floats on the water.

Answer 6

Icebergs are giant pieces of ice floating through a body of water. They are created when bits break off of a glacier or an ice shelf.
