There is no specific name for a glacier that break off as an iceberg. However, the part of the glacier in which this happens is called the "zone of wastage". Chunks break off in a process called "calving".
Answer:
The reason they don't react is because Elements with full octets are stable, the Elements with no unpaired electrons do not react at all in the decay.
I found this....
Supraglacial Moraine
A supraglacial moraine is material on the surface of a glacier. Lateral and medial moraines can be supraglacial moraines. Supraglacial moraines are made up of rocks and earth that have fallen on the glacier from the surrounding landscape. Dust and dirt left by wind and rain become part of supraglacial moraines. Sometimes the supraglacial moraine is so heavy, it blocks the view of the ice river underneath.
If a glacier melts, supraglacial moraine is evenly distributed across a valley.
Ground Moraine
Ground moraines often show up as rolling, strangely shaped land covered in grass or other vegetation. They don’t have the sharp ridges of other moraines. A ground moraine is made of sediment that slowly builds up directly underneath a glacier by tiny streams, or as the result of a glacier meeting hills and valleys in the natural landscape. When a glacier melts, the ground moraine underneath is exposed.
Ground moraines are the most common type of moraine and can be found on every continent.
Terminal Moraine
A terminal moraine is also sometimes called an end moraine. It forms at the very end of a glacier, telling scientists today important information about the glacier and how it moved. At a terminal moraine, all the debris that was scooped up and pushed to the front of the glacier is deposited as a large clump of rocks, soil, and sediment.
Scientists study terminal moraines to see where the glacier flowed and how quickly it moved. Different rocks and minerals are located in specific places in the glacier’s path. If a mineral that is unique to one part of a landscape is present in a terminal moraine, geologists know the glacier must have flowed through that area.
No, if something is wet then it has water on it that can be removed, you cannot take water off of itself.
Answer:
so the earth has an atmosphere, which holds in all the oxygen, it has gravity, and it has the green house effect, causing the earth's warmth to stay in it's atmosphere
