They come in all sizes. Only that the small ones melt before they make it into the big shipping lanes and isn't a problem for (almost) anyone.

The big ones, well, that's all down to how they break off from the glaciers and shelf ice where they are formed.

Why is it that the icebergs are melting yet Australia is in drought?

When an iceberg melts, its water goes mostly into the ocean and very little evaporates to make clouds. Most of the moisture that makes rain clouds comes form the evaporation of sea water. So the icebergs that melt have an insignificant impact on the humidity in the air that is needed for rain cloud formation.


What do rivers ponds streams glaciers and icebergs all contain?

What percent of fresh water is in an iceberg?

Approximately 68.7% of Earth's fresh water is stored in icebergs. This makes icebergs one of the largest sources of fresh water on the planet.


How is the water in icebergs involved in the water cycle on earth?

Icebergs are formed from fresh water, which is part of the Earth's water cycle. When icebergs melt, they release this fresh water back into the ocean, where it can evaporate, condense, and precipitate as part of the global water cycle. This process helps regulate the Earth's climate and maintain a balance in the distribution of water across the planet.
