If an iceberg of this size crashes into the continental U.S.A., will any destruction occur?

Iceberg FAQ's
Most likely, the only continent to be affected will be Antarctica, and perhaps its coast. Geophysicists at the University of Chicago are studying the iceberg motions.

Where will the iceberg(s) go?

Iceberg FAQ's
The last iceberg that broke off the Ross Ice Shelf was in 1987 and was about 1/2 the size of this one. It wandered to the west very slowly and eventualy moved north and around Cape Adare and continued west while it slowly melted. I expect this iceberg to follow the same track. I also expect it to break into two or three pieces. There are places in the Ross Sea that are shallow enough that the ice berg will hang up on them before getting to McMurdo Sound.

Stacy's Music Row Report
Iceberg originated as the nom de plume of a source whose identity is known to me but who did not want her/him identified to you. The name Iceberg was chosen because of a reference the source made to the Titanic artifacts then on display at the Opryland Hotel. time went on, other sources requested anonymity from me after first identifying themselves to me. Iceberg then became an all-inclusive pen name for credible news sources; women and men who wish to speak freely without fear of doing so.

What is the minimum engine size needed for highways in the USA?

Frequently Asked Questions
Contrary to popular belief, there is no one single standard that governs all federal interstate highways as to minimum speed. Nearly all speed regulation in the USA is done by individual state authorities, and thus there are 50 different answers to this question. In general, you must have at least a 150cc engine to operate on any major highway in the USA, along with the ability to not impede traffic, no matter how fast a speed that may require.

Why didn't they see the iceberg?

faq.
On the night of April 14th, the sea was unusually calm, and there was no moon. With no waves breaking against the berg, it was difficult to see. In addition, the binoculars for the lookouts had been misplaced before the ship departed Southampton. There are conflicting reports on this matter. However, there are a few things to keep in mind when pondering this question.

Do you think that this iceberg is the biggest one yet?

Iceberg FAQ's
My understanding is that icebergs from the Arctic are much smaller as they are often a result of glacier fragmentation. The Antarctic one appears to be somewhat different in origin. Am I correct in that observation This iceberg broke from an ice shelf, which is a little different than most Arctic icebergs, I suspect. Your satellite images of B-15, and B-16 are very impressive. However, there is no representation of scale. 295 x 37 km is obviously very, very big..

How common is an iceberg, much less of this magnitude?

Iceberg FAQ's
Small bergs a few miles across are very common and we have a large one like 100 miles long about every 10 to 15 years. The last one to break off of the Ross Ice Shelf was in 1987 and was about 1/2 the size of this one

What will the iceberg do? Will it cause harm?

Iceberg FAQ's
I'm not sure we will see any direct effects. This event is slow in unfolding as well-it will take months to years to melt this iceberg.

Will this iceberg raise the level of the oceans? If so, by how much?

Iceberg FAQ's
Since it is already floating in the ocean, it will not add to the sea level, even if it did melt overnight. Are you aware of any models of sea level rise have been developed as a function of this iceberg's eventual melt. I am actually quite interested in models of glacial melt predictions over time. Actually, this iceberg is not expected to cause any significant sea level rises at all.

When will the big iceberg, B-15, break up?

Iceberg FAQ's
Scientists think it will certainly break up but are not sure when. A New Zealand scientist said, "B9 took 22 months if you discount that piece of thin shelf starting life as multiyear fast ice at its eastern end. B9 was generally thicker but had a big N-S rift in it (Kainan Bay). B-15 is 100-350m thick with an unsustainable length -width ratio but it may stay side on to the swell for a while yet and these will be dampened by the forming pack.

What can be done about System Crashes?

What sorts of technical problems should I expect?
Ideally, there should be someone around 24 hours a day to make sure the system is put back up when it dies. A reasonable compromise for companies that aren't large enough to do this is to be sure someone's on the system during peak usage hours, to make sure the system is reset when it goes down.

What if everything crashes?

Index Marketing Group | F.A.Q.
Indexed annuities do carry a guaranteed minimum return, but only if you keep the policy until its maturity date. The guaranteed return is usually 3%, but that may not be 3% of what you paid into the policy in the first place. Some companies guarantee you'll get at least 3% of 90% of what you spent. Also make sure you check on how that minimum return is computed. If, for example, you get at least 3% compounded annually, that works out to a little more than a 10% gain after seven years.

When this iceberg breaks free, how far could it drift and how long will it last?

Iceberg FAQ's
It has broken free already, but it hasn't moved out of its "parking spot" yet (April 25, 2000). It could drift a fair distance, but it will be a very slow process, lasting months to more likely years.
Related Questions

What caused the iceberg to break off? Was there an earthquake or what caused the fissure?

Iceberg FAQ's
I'd like to find out whether there are, in fact, other factors involved besides global warming and, if so, how much of an influence these other factors might be in what takes place and in what you predict might take place. The primary factor in iceberg generation is that it is a part of the hydrological cycle. Snow (and not that much) falls on the steep and high continent of Antarctica.

What's the value of satellite imagery in observing the iceberg?

Iceberg FAQ's
Satellite imagery, particularly from polar-orbiting satellites, and especially when skies are clear of clouds, make it possible to spot big icebergs as they form. Cracks in the ice are only clearly visible from the air. Satellites give a point of view available no other way.

Will we be able to watch this iceberg float away?

Iceberg FAQ's
We do plan to follow the iceberg, and post updates to our Web site http://tstorm.ssec.wisc.edu/iceberg.html. We hope to continue to do so as long as our project continues to be funded to do so.

Why do some of the iceberg images look upside down? And sometime backwards?

Iceberg FAQ's
One set of satellite images is ingested in reverse. Remapping the image to the normal view detracts from the quality of the image. Why do the geographical lines jump around from image to image? Why is the iceberg south of -78 in the 16:38UTC image, at -78 in the 9:19UTC image, and south -78 again in the 09:49 image? Why does the navigation (map outline) look rock steady, while the surface features don't? I'm not a POES user.
