Question 4996 Deck General
70% to passWhat form of ice is of land origin?
A
Floe
B
Bergy bit
C
Spicule
D
Shuga
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Bergy bit. Bergy bits are pieces of ice that have broken off from glaciers or icebergs. They are of land origin, meaning they originated from glaciers or ice shelves on land. In contrast, floe, spicule, and shuga are all forms of sea ice that originate from the freezing of seawater. The other options are incorrect because they do not represent ice of land origin. Floe, spicule, and shuga are all types of sea ice that form from the freezing of seawater, not from the breakup of glaciers or icebergs.
