  1. no they usually fall off glaciers or ice shelfs from the land, floating ice is what makes our planet habitable because if Ice sank ponds and oceans would freeze solid eventually and kill everyone


  2. no

  3. No. They float!

  4. No, for everything you see above water, there is twice that under the water.

  5. no...they float

  6. Yes, yes they are. Everyone else here is foolish and sadly misguided. They have roots that go right to the earth's core.

  7. nope and then how would they move if they were rooted to the bottom of the ocean

  8. no - otherwise they would never move

  9. No they are floating in water.

  10. No. An iceberg is a large piece of freshwater ice that has broken off from a snow-formed glacier or ice shelf and is floating in open water.

    Because of the density of pure ice, and that of sea water, typically only one-tenth of the volume of an iceberg is above water.
