Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Large icebergs in the Arctic and Antarctic form through a process called calving, where pieces of glaciers break off and float into the sea. This process is not related to frozen seawater thickening or alpine glaciers melting in Arctic and Antarctic waters, and sea ice forming next to continental land is not a significant source of large icebergs.
