Remembering that only about a tenth of any iceberg is above the water, Titanic's berg was about 96 feet above sea level.

When do icebergs form?
Any of the northernmost or southernmost oceans and seas. How far north or south will depend on the time of year. Icebergs are found in very cold Arctic and Antarctic regions, into which the icebergs drift when they detach from an ice pack, ice shelf, or glacier.
How far under the Earth's crust do diamonds form?
About 100 miles
Is earth the only planet with water?
So far, Earth is the only planet with water. NASA has identified several planets with "potential" to have water.. but they have no solid proof yet.
What do you call moving water far beneath the ocean's surface?
An ocean current?
Where is the blower motor located on a 1992 GMC Safari Van?
The motor will be located under the hood at the far right corner.
How far do icebergs go down under the water?
An iceberg is 90% under the water.
How far north do icebergs come in Antarctica?
Icebergs float north until they melt completely.
How far under water do jellyfish live?
Jellyfish do not live that far under the water's surface. These jellyfish typically only live a few feet under the water.
How far do icebergs travel?
Icebergs are blocks of fresh-water ice that break off from glaciers and float out to sea. Glaciers are formed in polar regions where snowfall lasts for centuries, or even millennium, without entirely melting, and is eventually compressed into ice. In the North Atlantic, most icebergs originate from the tidewater glaciers of Western Greenland. Compressed snow becomes firm, a granular snow, transformed eventually by pressure into a dense ice.
How far under the ocean can a dolphin swim?
Dolphins can swim 1,000 feet down before taking a breath of air.
How do the icebergs float?
An iceberg floats because water is one of the few substances that is slightly denser as a liquid than as a solid. This is why ice cubes float in water icebergs are made from fresh water. Because of the dissolved salts in ocean water, it is denser than freshwater, adding bouyancy to the icebergs. Most icebergs actually contain a lot of air. Far from being the solid blocks of ice many people imagine, icebergs are riddled with billions of tiny, trapped air bubbles, giving the huge bergs their white appearance. Yes and if you want to get more specific, the density of ice 0.9g/cm cubed and the density of water is 1 g/cm cubed so if you think of this out of 100, 90% of the iceberg is underwater and 10% is above the water. All has to do with density.
How far under water is the oil spill?
About a mile under
How far can icebergs travel?
across the world and back again, for as long as it stays solid.
Does Karachi have ice bergs?

Why is it strange that the titanic collided with an iceberg?
1912 was an usuall year. This is so because: usually the icebergs that form over Newfoundland don't come far down into the shipping lanes but i think the warmer air made the 'bergs move further down.
If you sailed south from Australia you might hit what floating hazard?
Icebergs. Australia lies north of the Antarctic, so if one sailed directly south far enough, one might hit floating icebergs.
