What caused the iceberg to break off? Was there an earthquake or what caused the fissure?
Iceberg FAQ'sI'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.

When will the big iceberg, B-15, break up?
Iceberg FAQ'sScientists 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.
Related QuestionsWhat should I do during an earthquake?
Riverside County Fire Department - Frequently Asked Question...If you are indoors, stay there. Get under a desk or table, or crouch down along an inside wall or hallway. If you are outdoors, get into an open area away from trees, buildings, walls and power lines. If you are driving, pull your car to the side of the road and stop. Avoid overpasses or power lines. Remain inside until shaking is over. If you are in a highrise building, stay away from windows and outside walls. Get under a table. Do not use elevators.
Related QuestionsWill Chemical Sphincterotomy eliminate the pain caused by my anal fissure?
Immediate Relief for Anal FissuresSpasm of the internal anal sphincter can be relieved by using Fissure Medications such as calcium channel blockers (Nifedipine, Diltiazem) and topical nitrates (nitroglycerine gel), whose action on the internal anal sphincter will cause it to relax and thereby eliminate the pain. *
Related QuestionsWhere will the iceberg(s) go?
Iceberg FAQ'sThe 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.

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.Related Questions
How is it caused?
mugfordHdrThe tibialis anterior muscle is an antipronator due to its insertion on the medial aspect of the foot. When overpronation occurs, the tibialis anterior has ot fire constantly to oppose the over-overpronation, causing swelling of the muscle. Due to the fact that the anterior compartment of the leg is tightly constricted, the swollen Tibialis Anterior can cause an obstruction of blood flow which can cause severe pain due to lack of oxgen.
Related QuestionsWhat is an earthquake?
Earthquake Earthquake Information; FAQearthquake is the trembling or shaking of the ground that we feel when pieces of the earth's crust push against each other hard enough to overcome friction andi begin to slip . Because these pieces are so huge, the size of cities or states or countries, the energy released when they slip a little can be enough to shake apart buildings and other structures. This is especially so if the structure wasn't built or re-built (retrofit) specifically to withstand violent shaking.

Related QuestionsEarthquake FAQ - UTIGEarthquakes occur when stresses in the earth reach a level greater than the strength of the rock, causing the rocks on opposite sides of the fault to suddenly and violently slip past one another. Stresses acting perpendicular to the fault push the rocks on either side of the fault together. The strength of a fault is related to the size of these stresses and the coefficient of friction of the material forming the fault.Related Questions
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.

Related QuestionsDo you think that this iceberg is the biggest one yet?
Iceberg FAQ'sMy 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..

Iceberg FAQ'sSmall 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
Related QuestionsWhat will the iceberg do? Will it cause harm?
Iceberg FAQ'sI'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.
Related QuestionsWill this iceberg raise the level of the oceans? If so, by how much?
Iceberg FAQ'sSince 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.

Related QuestionsHow can I prepare for an earthquake?
Concord Earthquake PreparednessCheck chimneys, roofs, and wall foundations for stability. Make sure that your home is bolted to its foundation. Call a licensed contractor if there are any questions. Secure bookcases, shelves, pictures, heavy furniture and equipment to walls or surface areas in order that they not fall on you or block access to exits. Secure your hot water heater to a wall -- it's a valuable source of stored water. Apply these principals at work too, as best you can.
