Compare and contrast glaciers and sea ice

Biology
1 answer:
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]3 years ago

The most basic difference is that sea ice forms from salty ocean water, whereas icebergs, glaciers, and lake ice form from fresh water or snow. Sea ice grows, forms, and melts strictly in the ocean. Glaciers are considered land ice, and icebergs are chunks of ice that break off of glaciers and fall into the ocean.
