The slush is compacted by an unknown mechanism and solid bubblefree ice is formed from water high in soluble organic substances. When an iceberg separates from the ice shelf and capsizes the green ice is exposed. The Amery Ice Shelf appears to be uniquely suited to the production of green icebergs. Once detached from the ice shelf these bergs drift in the currents and wind systems surrounding Antarctica and can be found scattered among Antarctica s less colorful icebergs. Icebergs are massive blocks of ice irregular in shape they float with only about 12 percent of their mass above the sea surface. They are formed by glaciers large rivers of ice that begin inland in the snows of Greenland Antarctica and Alaska and move slowly toward the sea. The forward movement the melting at the base of the glacier where it meets the ocean and waves and tidal action cause blocks of ice to break off and float out to sea. Directions Mark your answer by filling in the oval next to your choice. 1. According to paragraph 1 all of the following are true of icebergs EXCEPT O They do not have a regular shape. O They are formed where glaciers meet the ocean. O Most of their mass is above the sea surface. O Waves and tides cause them to break off glaciers. Icebergs are ordinarily blue to white although they sometimes appear dark or opaque because they carry gravel and bits of rock. They may change color with changing light conditions and cloud cover glowing pink or gold in the morning or evening light but this color change is generally related to the low angle of the Sun above the horizon. However travelers to Antarctica have repeatedly reported seeing green icebergs in the Weddell Sea and more commonly close to the Amery Ice Shelf in East Antarctica. 2. According to paragraph 2 what causes icebergs to sometimes appear dark or opaque O A heavy cloud cover O The
