They are both ice and they may both be melting. But the iceberg is already displacing water, so by melting does little to raise the sea level. When a glacier melts, the additional water does raise the sea level somewhat. This would be particularly true when major ice caps such as the Greenland ice cap, melt.

What is the difference between an ice burg and glacier?
a glacier is huge ice mountain in the arctic ocean.An iceberg is a chunk of ice that falls off the glacier into the ocean.
What is a piece of ice that breaks off a glacier and floats away called?
An ice that breaks off a glacier and floats away is called an iceberg.
When a glacier is growing you say it is?
When a glacier is growing, it is experiencing positive mass balance, meaning that it is accumulating more snow and ice than it is losing through melting or iceberg calving. This process leads to the glacier advancing in size and sometimes even causing the glacier's terminus to extend further down its valley.
What is a growing glacier different from a melting glacier?
A melting glacier gets smaller, but a growing glacier gets bigger.
What is part of a continental glacier that has fallen into the ocean?
Iceberg.
In a iceberg what is a snout?
The end of the glacier where melting occurs.
What is more ancient a glacier or an iceberg?
A glacier is older than an iceberg, because an iceberg is a piece of ice that fell off a glacier.
What is a large detached piece of an iceberg or glacier?
A large detached piece of a glacier is called an iceberg. The process by which this happens is called calving.There isn't really a term for a detached piece of an iceberg. See related question.

What is the synonym of iceberg?
glacier
What happens where a glacier enters the sea?
When a glacier enters the sea, it creates a floating ice shelf. This ice shelf can calve off icebergs as it melts or breaks apart. The melting of glaciers into the sea also contributes to rising sea levels and changes in ocean circulation patterns.
What is a piece of ice that breaks off a glacier and floats away called?
An ice that breaks off a glacier and floats away is called an iceberg.
What is a slow melting glacier called?
A slow melting glacier
What is a piece of glacier called?
An iceberg
What is the difference a glacier and an iceberg?
A glacier is on land, moving down-slope like a frozen river. When it meets the sea, it breaks off in pieces, "calving" icebergs, which float in the ocean.
When a glacier is growing you say it is?
When a glacier is growing, it is experiencing positive mass balance, meaning that it is accumulating more snow and ice than it is losing through melting or iceberg calving. This process leads to the glacier advancing in size and sometimes even causing the glacier's terminus to extend further down its valley.
A large floating mass of ice which detached from a glacier is an?
Iceberg or an ice sheet
