What fraction of an iceberg is typically submerged below water?
Think about the specific gravity difference.
True or False: All of an iceberg is visible above the water.
Consider how much of an iceberg floats.
How much of an iceberg is submerged underwater?
Think about the ratio of ice volume above to below water.
True or False: Underwater melting has no impact on iceberg stability.
Consider what happens as ice melts; does it stay stable?
Given varying temperatures and their effects on iceberg melting rates, predict how long it would take for a specific-sized iceberg to significantly lose its buoyancy.
Consider using the formula Q=mcΔT to relate heat transfer to melting.
Evaluate a hypothetical situation where a newly designed ship must contend with iceberg detection. Propose a technology plan for early warning systems.
Think about integration of existing technologies for safety.
