What else can I help you with?
When pieces of glacier ice break off to float freely they are called .?
ice bergs
Do pieces of ice float in salt water?
I think that salty ice cube do float in water because ice bergs float it water and they're made of salty water. i think i depends on the density (Amount of salt) in the ice
Ice float on top of water?
Ice float on water because the density is lower.
What do chunks of contenintal glaciers produce when they break off the edge of a ice sheet?
When chunks of continental glaciers break off the edge of an ice sheet, they form icebergs. These icebergs can vary in size from small fragments to massive chunks of ice. They float in bodies of water and can pose hazards to shipping lanes and maritime activities.
Why do ice caps float?
Ice caps float because ice is less dense than liquid water. As water freezes, it expands and takes up more space, which decreases its density. This lower density causes ice to float on top of the liquid water.
Is water more dense as a solid then a liquid?
No, less dense. That's why ice cubes and bergs float.
When pieces of glacier ice break off to float freely they are called .?
ice bergs
Do pieces of ice float in salt water?
I think that salty ice cube do float in water because ice bergs float it water and they're made of salty water. i think i depends on the density (Amount of salt) in the ice
Are ice bergs made out of salt water?
no
Are all ice bergs fresh water?
No. Because in the artic ocean there are ice bergs. The titanic was sailing in the ocean and hit an ice berg.
Most fresh water comes from?
ice bergs
In Antarctica do icebergs have names?
By definition, icebergs float in the Southern Ocean, having broken off the Antarctic ice sheet. Some identify these bergs with names -- especially the larger bergs. You can learn more about how the large bergs are named, below.
Does ice melt in water?
it depends weather its an ice berg ice bergs tend to stay :) Its not difficult, ice melts in water, the warmer the water, the quicker it melts
Why did 5500 square kilometres of ice break away in Antarctica?
Icebergs break away from Antarctica regularly, because they are the glacial ice-river flows from its glaciers. When the bergs lose their 'land footing' and float into sea water do to this flow, soon enough the sea water's action breaks away the 'tongue' and an iceberg will float freely.
Titanic why didn't people watch out for ice bergs?
they were and they were even being told about ice bergs but they thought that The Titanic was the unsinkable ship. so they thought they didn't have to worry about ice bergs or anything
Do ice float in water?
yes, ice does float in water. it will eventually melt and change into water.
Ice float on top of water?
Ice float on water because the density is lower.
