Question

Side view of an iceberg. A small portion is seen above the water, with most of it under the water. The water is a dark blue and the iceberg a lighter blue underwater and almost white above water.

Make a list of words describing the image which trigger visualizations.

Answer 1

Ice has a slightly lower density than seawater, so we see ice floating above the surface of oceans. However, because the difference in relative density between ice and sea water is small, only some of the iceberg floats above the water. In fact, on average only 1/10th of an iceberg is above the surface of the water.
