It weighed over 9 billion tonnes-enough for everyone in the world to drink a litre of water a day for more than 4 years.Icebergs from Antarctica can be many times larger. In 1987 an iceberg, with an area of 6,350 sq. km, calved from the Ross Ice Shelf.t was 13 km long, 6 km wide, and was about 20 m above water. It weighed over 9 billion tonnes-enough for everyone in the world to drink a litre of water a day for more than 4 years.

The iceberg that sank Titanic An immense iceberg. In 1909, Ilulissat was producing just one or two of these huge icebergs each year. The iceberg that sank Titanic would have been up to a mile long, displacing around a billion tonnes of seawater. It would have taken the iceberg over a year to edge its way down the 40-mile fjord.

- How much of an iceberg is below water? Almost 90% of an iceberg is under water, hence the phrase “tip of the iceberg.” Its maximum width under water is 20% to 30% larger than you can see at the surface. The average depth, or draught of an iceberg, is slightly less than its apparent length above water.

The Sinking of the Titanic: Who was to blame? When the Titanic struck the iceberg, the crew read 11:40 pm on their clock. What everyone forgets here is that at 10 pm, the crew had set back their clock by 24 minutes to correct for a new timezone. When the crew read 11:40 pm, it was actually already 12:04 am.

- More, as long as the tire doesn't expand in such a way the the tire pressure changes only slightly (similar to a balloon). In such a case the tire would theoretically weigh m…ore, but would be undetectable by common measuring devices, such as a spring loaded scale. Making the world better, one answer at a time. In the United States there are seven tire punctures every second, totaling 220 million flat tires each year.

A video has shown the 2,464 airplanes that crossed the North Atlantic Ocean - in a 40-second snapshot. The clip, produced by Flightradar24, begins at 8pm Eastern Time and shows a large number of planes leaving the US for Europe. At that time, air traffic in Europe slows down, with fewer flights departing the continent.

Did this iceberg sink the Titanic? The photograph was taken by the chief steward of the liner Prinz Adalbert on the morning of April 15, 1912. The Titanic, which struck an iceberg at 11.40 p.m. ship's time on April 14, sank just over two hours later with the loss of more than 1,500 lives. The crew of the Hamburg America Line liner was unaware of the terrible event when they saw the iceberg, according to the document.

Alaskan Way Viaduct replacement tunnel The 326 ft (99 m), 6,700-short-ton (6,100 t) TBM was disassembled into 40 pieces and shipped to Seattle where it was reassembled in the launch pit near the south end of the future tunnel. From there, the record-breaking 57.5-foot (17.5 m) diameter borer moves in 6.5 ft (2.0 m) increments toward the north end.

- An iceberg warning had reached Captain Smith while he was dining with Ismay in the promenade room. A junior officer handed him the warning, which was taken from his hand by Ismay who joked icebergs were inevitable. He flippantly handed the note to the near passengers who likely joined in the joke.

The world's biggest iceberg: 19-mile crack in the ice breaking away from Antarctica The world's biggest iceberg: 19-mile crack in the ice breaking away from Antarctica. An astonishing photograph taken from outer-space illustrates how an iceberg the size of New York is close to breaking off from Antarctica. A 19-mile crack in Pine Island Glacier's ice is clearly visible, leading some scientists to speculate that the world's biggest berg could soon be on the move. The picture, taken by NASA's Terra spacecraft in November 2011 but only released today, shows how the crack is quickly growing.

- 1 The Titanic sank 2 hours and 40 minutes after hitting the iceberg.  It probably took Titanic about 15 minutes to sink to her final resting place on the ocean floor. That means that Titanic sank at a rate of 10 miles per hour (or 16 km per hour).

"The polar ice cap is 5 million square miles, but the worlds oceans are about 139 million square miles. How can the melting of such a ""small"" area of ice be predicted to raise the overall sea level so precipitously?" Thus if the average thickness of that ice was 28 feet, and it all melted, it would raise sea level by about a foot. If the average thickness was 56 feet, it would raise sea level by 2 feet (ignoring that overall square footage of sea level surface area would go up as rising seas inundate areas of currently dry land).

"The polar ice cap is 5 million square miles, but the worlds oceans are about 139 million square miles. How can the melting of such a ""small"" area of ice be predicted to raise the overall sea level so precipitously?" Volume = area x thickness. So if the volume of the icecap is, on average, about 200 ft thick times 5 million square miles area and the area of the world's oceans is about 139 million square miles then you're going to get a sea level rise of roughly 7 feet when you melt all the ice.

- The officer quickly acknowledged with a Thank you, and the phone was hung up. Titanic's crow's-nest, where the berg was first sighted. Iceberg right ahead! was repeated again in the bridge. The first officer quickly looked out of the ship's bridge windows. Seeing the berg looming off the bow, he turned and shouted Hard astarboard to quartermaster Hitchens tending the ships wheel in the wheelhouse.

Glaciers & Icebergs of Glacier Bay National Park Glacier Bay National Park includes 16 tidewater glaciers:12 actively calve icebergs into the bay. The show can be spectacular. As water undermines the ice fronts, great blocks of ice up to 200 feet high break loose and crash into the water.

Titanic Facts Cold water temperatures, about 35 degrees Fahrenheit, caused the steel to crack in a brittle manner, like glass, when it hit the Iceberg, instead of the ductile, twisting, tearing manner, we are all accustomed.

Iceberg B-15 Iceberg B-15. Northern edge of Iceberg B-15A in the Ross Sea, Antarctica, 29 January 2001. Iceberg B-15 was the world's largest recorded iceberg. It measured around 295 kilometres (183 mi) long and 37 kilometres (23 mi) wide, with a surface area of 11,000 square kilometres (4,200 sq mi)—larger than the whole island of Jamaica.

Enbridge In January 2009, an Enbridge pipeline leaked about 4,000 barrels (640 m 3) of oil southeast of Fort McMurray at the company's Cheecham Terminal tank farm. Most of the spilled oil was contained within berms but about 1% of the oil, about 40 barrels (6.4 m 3), sprayed into the air and coated nearby snow and trees.n January 2, 2010, Enbridge's Line 2 ruptured near Neche, North Dakota, releasing about 3,784 barrels of crude oil, of which 2,237 barrels were recovered. In April 2010, an Enbridge pipeline ruptured spilling more than 9.5 barrels (1.51 m 3) of oil in Virden, Manitoba.

Cervical Insufficiency Since the size of the cervix and needle can vary, there is no predetermined number of tissue bites required to completely encircle the cervix, but 4–6 are generally necessary; however, the exact number of bites is not important. The last bite should exit in close proximity to the original entry site.
