Answer» An iceberg is a piece of freshwater ICE more than 15 m LONG that has broken off a glacier or an ice SHELF and is floating freely in open water. Smaller chunks of floating glacially-derived ice are called "growlers" or "bergy bits". Both are generally SPAWNED from disintegrating icebergs.Answer: Icebergs are dangerous because they are HUGE and they float low in the water which can cause danger to the ships. They tend to flip over at times. When they flip over the energy is so great it can cause tsunamis and on occasion can trigger earthquakes. |
