The Antarctic and North Atlantic Oceans are where icebergs form. The floating pieces of ice in question most famously form off Antarctica in the Southern Hemisphere and between Canada and Greenland in the northern
An iceberg forms when the part of the ice shelf cracks and breaks off.
What else can I help you with?
How do icebergs float in the antarctic?
Because ice is less dense than the water it floats in. However, if your question relates to why there are icebergs in the Antarctic and Arctic, but not in other waters, it is due to a number of reasons, such as : - The icebergs are (generally) formed when a slab of the Antarctic or Arctic ice cap close to the sea breaks off (it must be noted, however, that there is no land at the north pole, so the Arctic ice cap is simply one massive iceberg) and floats away. - In the Antarctic something called the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antarctic_Circumpolar_Current) causes the icebergs to whip around the Southern Ocean, rather than venture out into warmer waters - Also, icebergs do float upwards into the warmer oceans of the world, but melt as they encounter warmer climates and waters.
Why are icebergs made of freshwater but float in salt water?
No. Salt water doesn't freeze at temperatures you'd find in the ocean. Icebergs are pieces of freshwater glaciers that have fallen into the ocean.This is because of the diet of the male, depending on the diet it is said that women would prefer males to have a better diet and thus leading the the sperm tasting better.
Which of these is a direct result of uneven heating of water in the oceans due to solar energy A. Salt in any ocean B. Ocean tides C. icebergs D. Ocean currents?
D Ocean currents.
What is a interaction between the cryosphere and hydrosphere?
To release fresh water into ocean water as icebergs melt. Because they are apart of heat.
What are some Non examples of the water cycle?
Non-examples of the water cycle include processes such as water being stored in a bottle, where it does not undergo evaporation, condensation, or precipitation. Similarly, water trapped in icebergs or glaciers remains in a solid state and does not cycle through liquid or gaseous forms. Additionally, water in a closed system, like a sealed aquarium, does not participate in the broader water cycle, as it lacks the interactions with the atmosphere that are essential for the cycle.
Who monitors icebergs in Australia?
There are no icebergs in Australia.
What are the different types of icebergs in Antarctica?

What colors are icebergs?
Icebergs themselves are colorless. The appearance of color in icebergs is the result of reflected and refracted light.
Why are icebergs called icebergs?
because it is a ice and it is big
Was the captain notify about the icebergs?
of course he was notified by icebergs
Where do north icebergs come from?
From giant icebergs around Greenland.
What name is given to a number of icebergs?
A group of icebergs is referred to as an armada. When naming icebergs, they are given a number and a letter. They are then tracked.
Are there any months when there are no icebergs?
Depends on the latitude. Sufficiently close to the poles there are ALWAYS icebergs. And sufficiently close to the equator there are NEVER icebergs. After that, icebergs or not is always a probability influenced by latitude and season.
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 does global warming affect icebergs?
Icebergs are made of ice and since the greenhouse gases are making the earth warmer the icebergs are melting.
Are the big chunks called icebergs?
No. Chunks are what come off icebergs.
Where do north Atlantic icebergs come from?
From giant icebergs around Greenland.
