What percent of an iceberg is below the water and why?
80-85%AnswerThe density of ice is 0.9167 g/cm³. The density of salt water is 1.025 g/cm³.0.9167 g/cm³------------------- = 89.4% ~ 90%1.025 g/cm³Roughly only one eighth of an iceberg can be seen above water. The remaining seven eighths or, 87.5 percent, is submerged due to the weight distribution of the iceberg itself. Top layers of icebergs have relatively lightly packed snow, which is less dense. The more dense core of the iceberg pulls the weight down below the surface of the water. However, since ice is less dense than water, it still remains afloat.Hope this helped some.
Which has more heat an iceberg of a pot of boiling water?
Iceberg.Heat is anything above absolute zero (-273 degrees C).It is the total energy of molecular motion in a substance while temperature is a measure of the average energy of molecular motion in a substance. Heat energy depends on the speed of the particles, the number of particles (the size or mass), and the type of particles in an object. Temperature does not depend on the size or type of object. For example, the temperature of a small cup of water might be the same as the temperature of a large tub of water, but the tub of water has more heat because it has more water and thus more total thermal energy.The iceberg is a huge object with a lot of mass or volume than a pot of water.Therefore due to the massive size of the iceberg the amount of heat (even though it is not as 'hot' as the boiling water) is greater.
What percent of fresh water is in an iceberg?
Approximately 68.7% of Earth's fresh water is stored in icebergs. This makes icebergs one of the largest sources of fresh water on the planet.
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.
How many half litters of water are equal to 64oz?
There are 2 half liters of water in 64 oz. One liter is equal to 33.8 oz, so half a liter is 16.9 oz.
What percentage of an iceberg can be seen above water?
typically only one-tenth of the volume of an iceberg is above water.
The relative density of seawater is 1.03 and of ice is 0.92. What fraction of an iceberg is above the surface of the water?
79% of an iceberg is underwater, so 21% or about one fifth is above it. However given the shape and size of an iceberg, as little as 10% can be above water at times, so it can be between one tenth and one ninth above water.
What are the Famous quotes by Sigmund Freud?
" The mind is like an iceberg, it floats with one-seventh of its bulk above water. "
What does an iceberg look like and how does it look under the water?
An iceberg above water appears as a large mass of floating ice with a distinct white or blue color. However, below the water's surface, only about one-tenth of the iceberg is visible, while the majority lies submerged. The underwater portion often has a more complex and intricate shape than what is seen above water.
How much of an iceberg is visible above the water line?
Approximately 10% of an iceberg is visible above the water line, with the remaining 90% submerged below the surface. This is due to the lower density of ice compared to water, causing the iceberg to float with a significant portion hidden underwater.
When the titanic hit the iceberg why didn't the iceberg sink?
Icebergs are huge masses of floating ice, and only about one-tenth of their volume is above water. The iceberg hit by Titanic likely had 100 times the ship's mass or more, and in any event would not "sink" under any circumstances.
Is more of an ice berg in Antarctica under the water or above?
Under.Another answer:According to Wikipedia, "Because the density of pure ice is about 920 kg/m³, and that of sea water about 1025 kg/m³, typically only one-tenth of the volume of an iceberg is above water."
Which note is located one half step above A?
B sharp if it is one and a half step up, but if just half then it is A sharp. -BJ
Can tadpoles breathe above water?
Yes but not for long I one caught a tadpole and it breathed for 1-2 minutes then died ( sorry little tadpole) anyway I caught a half frog half tadpole and YES they can breath above water just like frogs or toads.

What is an iceberg oposite meaning?
There is no opposite of iceberg. Either there is one, or there isn't. No such thing as an anti-iceberg.
How big is 1 ton of iceberg?
One ton of ice from an iceberg occupies approximately 1.1 cubic meters or about 39 cubic feet. This volume is based on the density of ice, which is roughly 917 kg/m³. However, because icebergs are mostly submerged, their visible portion is only a fraction of their total mass. Thus, the actual size of an iceberg can vary significantly depending on its shape and the amount of ice above water.
