What percentage of an iceberg's mass is above the waterline?
Between 10 to 20 percent of an iceberg mass is above water. An iceberg is a massive piece of floating ice. Usually, approximately 80 to 90 percent of an iceberg is below sea level. A very large iceberg can be over 230 feet in height and over 738 feet in width.
What percent of an iceberg is below water and why?
i think that an iceberg is half way below because of its censity and it depends of how high the water is
The part of an iceberg which is below water is about seven times the size of the part above water What fraction of the iceberg is above water?
1/8 is.
If an an iceberg as 90 percent of its body below the water level but a ship has 90 percent of its body above the water level then Why doesn't a big ship like a cuise ship roll over?
The iceberg rolls because it is constantly melting, casuing it scenter of mass to change. The ship is help upright by water displacement and the shape of the hull so it does not roll like an iceberg does.
What percentage is an iceberg underwater?
Typically, only about 10% of any iceberg is above sea-level. This is why we know that the berg that Titanic struck was far larger than the ship.
What is the total height of the iceberg if three fourths of the height is hidden below the surface of the ocean and the iceberg towers 150 meters about the ocean surface?
1/4 of the iceberg which is 150m, is above sea level, so another 3/4 of it is below. 150 x 4 = 600, so the height of the iceberg is 600m.
Is more of an ice berg under or above?
Though ice is less dense than water but still more of an iceberg is below water due to enormous mass of the iceberg...

What percent of an iceberg is below the water and why?
80-85%AnswerThe density of ice is 0.9167 g/cm³. The density of salt water is 1.025 g/cm³.0.9167 g/cm³------------------- = 89.4% ~ 90%1.025 g/cm³Roughly only one eighth of an iceberg can be seen above water. The remaining seven eighths or, 87.5 percent, is submerged due to the weight distribution of the iceberg itself. Top layers of icebergs have relatively lightly packed snow, which is less dense. The more dense core of the iceberg pulls the weight down below the surface of the water. However, since ice is less dense than water, it still remains afloat.Hope this helped some.
