Icebergs are masses of ice that have broken off of glaciers. The glaciers are formed from the compaction of snow by gravity into a dense ice.

Are icebergs formed from frozen salt water?

No, icebergs are formed from freshwater ice. Saltwater freezes at a lower temperature than freshwater, so icebergs are made up of frozen freshwater from glaciers or ice shelves. When glaciers break off into the ocean, they form 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.


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.


When do icebergs form summer or winter in Antarctica?

both


How do hydrogen bonds make icebergs possible?

Hydrogen bonds form between water molecules in liquid water, causing them to stick together and become less dense as they freeze. As water freezes, the hydrogen bonds arrange the molecules into a lattice structure, creating empty spaces that increase the volume of the ice. This expansion causes ice to be less dense than liquid water, allowing icebergs to float on the surface of the ocean.


Icebergs from when ice breaks off of a n?

Icebergs form when chunks or slabs of ice break off of a glacier. They can also form when chunks of ice break free from an ice shelf.


How cold are icebergs?

Icebergs have a temperature between 5 and 32 degrees Fahrenheit. They form in the coldest parts of the planet around the Earth's poles.


Could you find an iceberg on a desert?

No, icebergs are found at sea, not in a desert. However, some icebergs form from glaciers and ice sheets in the Antarctic Desert.

Where can you find water stored in a sold form?

A water bottle...You really couldn't answer that on your own?


Why is it that the icebergs are melting yet Australia is in drought?

When an iceberg melts, its water goes mostly into the ocean and very little evaporates to make clouds. Most of the moisture that makes rain clouds comes form the evaporation of sea water. So the icebergs that melt have an insignificant impact on the humidity in the air that is needed for rain cloud formation.


Where would you expect to find water stored as a solid?

Water stored as a solid form, such as ice, can be found in icebergs, glaciers, snow, and ice caps located in polar regions or high-altitude mountains.
