What is the name given to masses of ice found floating in the the Antarctic Ocean?
Icebergs float in the Southern Ocean, and in the Arctic ocean.
If you were at the north pole what would you be standing on?
If you were at the North Pole, you would be standing on sea ice floating on the Arctic Ocean. Beneath the sea ice at the North Pole is thousands of feet of water.
Does the north pole have solid land under it?
No. The North Pole is located on a floating polar ice cap.
Would you expect the seawater just below the floating ice in the Arctic Ocean to be higher or lower in salinity then the water in the deep zone there?
When ocean water freezes into sea ice, some of the salt is incorporated into the new ice. Thereafter, that salt drains as brine (salt plus water), causing the layer of water below to be of higher salinity.
How does an ice shelf form?
An ice shelf is a floating platform of ice that forms where a glacier or ice sheet flows down to a coastline and onto the ocean surface. The thickness of ice shelves can range from about 100 to 1000 meters (328 to 3280 ft).

What is the meaning of iceberg?
A large mass of ice, generally floating in the ocean.
What do you call floating ice formations in the arctic and the Antarctic Ocean?
Glaciers
What is a large floating chunk of ice floating in the ocean?
Icebergs change size and shape constantly. When a fissure or crack develops and a portion breaks off it is called a floe. Changes in icebergs are determined by climate, pressure, force and temperature.
What is the difference between an ice sheet and a ice berg?
An ice sheet is a large mass of glacial ice that covers land, while an iceberg is a large floating mass of ice that has broken off from a glacier or ice shelf and is floating in the ocean. Ice sheets are stationary, while icebergs can drift with ocean currents.
What ocean is located at 90 North latitude?
The latitude of the North Pole is 90 degrees North. Therefore, the ocean would be the Arctic Ocean, though covered mainly by a vast floating ice cap.
Does the north pole have solid land under it?
No. The North Pole is located on a floating polar ice cap.
What is the Ross Ice Shelf?
The Ross ice Shelf is a floating ice shelf connected to the Antarctic continent, that is about the size of France. The ocean under the shelf has never been explored.
What is a floating sea ice formed by a mix of icebergs with other ice formed in super chilled ocean waters?
arctic?
Why would melting icebergs raise ocean levels since floating ice cubes do not raise water levels when they melt?
u got a point there dude
Is the North Pole on a continent?
No, The North Pole is an imaginary point on a floating ice sheet in the Arctic Ocean.
