How cold does the ozone layer have to be to so icebergs dont melt?
The temp of the ozone layer has no affect on icebergs.
Why was the Atlantic cold when the Titanic sailed?
Because it crashed into an iceberg and icebergs are really cold.

Why is there usually fog around icebergs?
Fog around icebergs is caused by the temperature difference between the cold icebergs and the relatively warmer air above the sea surface. This temperature difference leads to the condensation of water vapor in the air, forming fog around the iceberg.
Why do we get more fog over icebergs?
Fog forms over icebergs because the cold temperatures of the ice cause the relatively warmer air above it to cool rapidly and reach its dew point, leading to the condensation of water vapor into tiny water droplets that appear as fog. The temperature difference between the cold ice and the surrounding air enhances the fog formation over icebergs.
Why icebergs are often surroundedby fog?
Icebergs can create their own microclimates, producing cold and moist air that can lead to fog formation around them. The temperature difference between the cold iceberg and the warmer surrounding air can cause moisture in the air to condense, forming fog. The presence of icebergs can also disrupt air circulation patterns and contribute to fog formation in the surrounding area.
Does Australia have icebergs?
Australia does not have icebergs. Icebergs are large chunks of ice that break off from glaciers and float in cold oceans near the poles, primarily in the Arctic and Antarctic regions. Australia's climate is too warm for icebergs to form.
Are icebergs formed from frozen salt water?
No, icebergs are formed from freshwater ice. Saltwater freezes at a lower temperature than freshwater, so icebergs are made up of frozen freshwater from glaciers or ice shelves. When glaciers break off into the ocean, they form icebergs.
Why do penguins need icebergs?
Penguins rely on icebergs for breeding, as they provide a safe place to nest and raise their chicks away from predators. Icebergs also offer penguins access to food sources such as krill and fish that dwell beneath the water's surface. Additionally, icebergs serve as resting platforms for penguins during their long swims in search of food.
Why are icebergs only found near the poles?
Icebergs are primarily found near the poles because they originate from glaciers, which form in cold regions where snow accumulates and compacts over time. The frigid temperatures near the poles facilitate the process of glacier formation and the calving of icebergs into the ocean. Additionally, the warmer waters away from the poles can cause icebergs to melt rapidly, limiting their presence in more temperate regions. Thus, the polar environment is essential for the stability and existence of icebergs.
Why do icebergs float when they are cold and cold water sinks?
Icebergs and ice are less dense than water, so they naturally float. The way their molecules are organised they have way more volume for the amount of mass they have than equal mass of liquid water. Cold water can be denser than warmer water, the molecules are closer together and not vibrating as much, so it sinks below warmer or less denser water (or any other liquid). It's the opposite of what happens with icebergs, even though they're made of the same stuff.
What is a penguins habitat?
a penguins habitat is a very cold one it is freezing cold and is full of ice and especially icebergs
