What percentage of an iceberg is typically visible above the water's surface?
Approximately 10 of an iceberg is typically visible above the water's surface.
The relative density of seawater is 1.03 and of ice is 0.92. What fraction of an iceberg is above the surface of the water?
79% of an iceberg is underwater, so 21% or about one fifth is above it. However given the shape and size of an iceberg, as little as 10% can be above water at times, so it can be between one tenth and one ninth above water.
Is the underwater portion of an iceberg bigger than the portion that is visible above water?
No, typically the underwater portion of an iceberg is not bigger than the portion that is visible above water. Icebergs are known to have a larger portion underwater, but this is due to the difference in density between ice and seawater rather than the underwater portion being larger in size.
Is there more of an iceberg under or over the water?
Approximately 90% of an iceberg's mass is underwater, with only about 10% visible above the surface. This is due to the lower density of ice compared to water. So, the majority of an iceberg is hidden beneath the water's surface.
How far does the sky go above the Earth?
The sky above the Earth extends into space, which is about 62 miles (100 kilometers) above the Earth's surface.
What percentage of an iceberg can be seen above water?
typically only one-tenth of the volume of an iceberg is above water.
What percentage of an iceberg is typically visible above the water's surface?
Approximately 10 of an iceberg is typically visible above the water's surface.
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.
How deep was the iceberg the titanic crashed?
Remembering that only about a tenth of any iceberg is above the water, Titanic'sberg was about 96 feet above sea level.
The part of an iceberg which is below water is about seven times the size of the part above water What fraction of the iceberg is above water?
Since the part below the water is 7 times the size of the part above water, the total size of the iceberg can be divided into 8 equal parts (7 parts below water + 1 part above water). Therefore, the fraction of the iceberg above water is 1/8.
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)
How high above the water was the iceberg that hit the titanic?
n00b
How much does a tip of iceberg show?
about 12.5 percent of an iceberg is above the water. That leaves the other 87.5 percent hidden from view.
The atmosphere extends from the earth's surface to?
It extends to 600-700 km above earth's surface
Can an iceberg sink?
no. it melts An iceberg will float as long as it is in water. If you could put an iceberg in a liquid less dense than ice, the iceberg would sink.
How long was the iceberg that hit the titanic?
The height of the iceberg was believed to be about 96 feet above sea-level but the width or length cannot be determined.
Did the iceberg sink after the Titanic hit it?
no No, although only 10% of an iceberg is visible above the surface, icebergs will float until they dissolve into the sea.
