What else can I help you with?
Is the density of an iceberg and seawater equal?
No, an iceberg is approximately 10% less dense than seawater. This is why it floats
What is a physical propertie of water?
its liquid and it expands when frozen.
Is one half of iceberg above water?
1/8 of the iceberg is at the surface while the rest remains. This is an average iceberg (based on titanic)
If an iceberg is made of water and its solid and if its in water and its liquid how does the iceberg float?
An iceberg floats because it is less dense than the water it displaces. When ice forms, it expands and becomes less dense than liquid water, allowing it to float. This buoyancy force counteracts the downward force of gravity, keeping the iceberg afloat.
Examples of mechanical weatering?
Frost Wedging- water expands when frozen. Unloading- rock expands and breaks. biological- animals and plants dig up rock.
Is the density of an iceberg and seawater equal?

What happens when sea water freeze?
The freezing point of seawater depends upon it's salinity,which is the amount of salt that it contains. Open ocean seawater has a salinity of about 35. Fresh water freezes at 0 degrees Celsius and 35 water freezes at about -2 degrees C. The decrease is linear so that water with a salinity of 17 freezes at about -1 degree C. [salinity is no longer given units such as parts per thousand] The Titanic sank because it struck an iceberg - an iceberg is NOT frozen seawater but a chunk of a glacier - which is frozen snow (i.e. frozen fresh water)
Iceberg is what kind o water?
Frozen .
What substance expands when frozen?
water
Is there any Antarctic plants that live on an iceberg?
An iceberg is frozen water. It is not a place where anything grows.
What is a physical propertie of water?
its liquid and it expands when frozen.
What fraction of on iceberg is under water?
There is 90% of an iceberg's volume (and mass) that is underwater.
Really is an iceberg a mineral?
An iceberg is a mineral because it has a definite chemical composition, it is an inorganic solid, and it is naturally occurring. You might think it is just frozen water but it is not, it is a mineral when it is an iceberg, but when it melts then it is not a mineral.
Is one half of iceberg above water?
1/8 of the iceberg is at the surface while the rest remains. This is an average iceberg (based on titanic)
What is really cool about water?
Water is the only liquid that expands when frozen.
What is wrong with frozen food if the package expands?
it is probable a microbian infection.
Does ice go below freezing temp?
The average density of pure ice is about 920 kg/m³. The average density of seawater is about 1025 kg/m³. By Archimedes's principle, the mass of the seawater displaced (i.e. the amount of the iceberg underwater) should equal the mass of the iceberg. Using that principle, for each 1 m³ of seawater displaced it takes 1025 kg of ice - which will have a volume of 1025 kg x 1 m³/920 kg = 1.114 m³. In other words, 1m³ of the iceberg is submerged for every 1.114 m³ of iceberg. 1/1.114 = 0.89756 So, on average about 90% of the iceberg is submerged. If the seawater is a little less salty, more of the iceberg is submerged. If the iceberg is "dirty" - with stuff in it that is more dense than ice, more of the iceberg is submerged. If the iceberg has voids (air pockets) it will be less dense and less of the iceberg is submerged.
