In the nonfiction article entitled All About Icebergs, Ed Grabianowski states that icebergs have copious remarkable traits and are special. First of all, Grabianowski discusses that icebergs originate from glaciers, massive slabs of ice and snow from inland. After the glacier enters the water, the waves form cracks over time, leading to a chunk of ice breaking out and splitting into an iceberg. In addition, the nonfiction article mentions that the icebergs’ melting impacts the surrounding waters significantly. As the melting occurs, cold fresh water spreads from the iceberg about a nautical mile away, causing thermal currents until the icebergs’ end. The author points out that icebergs are able to hover on water with a force known as buoyancy.
