Icebergs
How are icebergs formed?
Icebergs form when chunks of ice calve from glaciers, ice shelves, or a larger iceberg. Icebergs travel with ocean currents, sometimes smashing up against the shore or getting caught in shallow waters.
What dangers do icebergs have?
Most of the time the part below the surface is 7 times the size of the part that you can see this makes them very dangerous because the underwater part of an iceberg may extend far to one side of the visible part, so a ship that sails could crash into the ice.
What animals live on icebergs?
No animals permanently live on the icebergs but seals sometimes stay on icebergs to run from their prey.
Why do icebergs melt?
They sometimes melt because of global warming. But they usually hit the shallower and warmer waters then they melt.
What are icebergs?
Icebergs are a piece of ice floating in the sea. Many icebergs are the size of houses or large buildings. Though most of their size is hidden underwater.
Where can you find icebergs?
They are generally found in cold waters near the north or south pole.
