What happens if the part of an iceberg that extends above the water was removed?
If the exposed part of an iceberg above the water was removed, it would cause the iceberg to become less stable and potentially tip over. Icebergs are inherently buoyant due to the displacement of water, so removing part of it would alter the balance and stability of the remaining structure.
Why didn't the watertight compartments work on the Titanic?
The watertight compartments on the Titanic did not extend high enough to prevent water from spilling over the top when the ship hit the iceberg, causing the compartments to flood and leading to the sinking of the ship.
How far will sound carry over water?
Sound can travel a few kilometers over water, but factors like temperature, humidity, wind speed, and obstacles in the water can affect how far it carries. In general, sound travels further and clearer over water compared to over land due to the more uniform density of water.
I can be three different states of matter but not at the same time i am necessary for life but i can also destroy life i can be under your feet around your body or over your head What am i?
You are water. Water can exist as a solid (ice), liquid (water), or gas (water vapor). It is essential for life as all living organisms need water to survive, but excess water in the form of floods or drowning can also be destructive. Water can be found under your feet as groundwater, around your body as rivers and lakes, or over your head as clouds.
How does the length of time the wind blows over water affect the amount of energy in a wave?
They result from the wind blowing over an area of fluid surface, of wind-generated waves that are not usually affected by the local wind at that time.
Is there more iceberg over or under the water?
under
Why ice berg is over the water?
Icebergs are formed when chunks of ice break off from glaciers or ice shelves and float in the water. Due to the difference in density between ice and water, only about 10% of an iceberg is visible above the water, with the rest below the surface. This visible portion is what we see "over the water."
How the water in an iceberg may fall as rain over a city on the land?
When an iceberg melts, the water from the iceberg enters the surrounding ocean. This water may then evaporate into the atmosphere and form clouds, which can eventually travel over a city on land. When these clouds release the gathered water as precipitation, it can fall as rain over the city.

Why was the titanic unable to float?
It was first able to float at the beginning but during the collision with the iceberg, tons of water rushed in, drowning people and making the boat heavier, it was eventually tipped over and dragged into the water. Answer: Water rushed in and dragged it under water.
What percentage of an iceberg's mass is above the waterline?
Between 10 to 20 percent of an iceberg mass is above water. An iceberg is a massive piece of floating ice. Usually, approximately 80 to 90 percent of an iceberg is below sea level. A very large iceberg can be over 230 feet in height and over 738 feet in width.
What percent of an iceberg is below water and why?
Approximately 90% of an iceberg is below water because ice is less dense than water, so a large portion of the iceberg needs to be submerged to displace enough water and stay afloat. The submerged portion is what gives icebergs their stability and makes them less likely to tip over.
What can go over the water under the water but never touches the water?
A shadow can go over the water, under the water, but never touches the water.
If an an iceberg as 90 percent of its body below the water level but a ship has 90 percent of its body above the water level then Why doesn't a big ship like a cuise ship roll over?
The iceberg rolls because it is constantly melting, casuing it scenter of mass to change. The ship is help upright by water displacement and the shape of the hull so it does not roll like an iceberg does.
Is Antarctica mostly over or under water?
I would say under water since Antarctica is a continent (land) that is mostly covered in ice and snow more so than the few glacial ice sheets that extend out over the water.
Can an iceberg roll over?
In a condition of warm water and cold air, the bottom would melt faster than the top and it would roll over. As the ice on the bottom melted, it would become top heavy. I would think that it is not impossible for some icebergs. The more closely an iceberg resembles a sphere, (or log-like) the more likely that some rolling might occur. And I would think that while it might be unlikely, it is probably possible for some icebergs to be sphere-like. The same proportions of ice above and below the waterline will hold throughout the life of the iceberg; there would be no such thing as a top-heavy iceberg unless perhaps it got grounded on a shoal.
If an iceberg has 90 percent of its body below the water line then why doesn't a cuise ship with 90 percent of its body above the water line roll over?
because the ship is to heavy
