ICBM stands for Intercontinental Ballistic Missile. It is a type of ballistic missile with a minimum range of 5,500 kilometers and a typical range of 8,000 to 12,000 kilometers. ICBMs are designed to strike targets across continents and are typically nuclear-armed. They are typically operated by a country's military forces and are used as a deterrent against other countries.
Large, thick plates of ice that cover large areas of land, typically formed from compacted snow, and that can break off and melt to affect sea levels.
An iceberg is a large piece of ice that floats in the ocean. It is formed when a glacier or ice shelf breaks off and melts partially underwater, with the remaining portion above the water's surface. Unlike floating ice, which melts completely soon after hitting the water, an iceberg remains intact because only a portion of its mass is above the waterline. The oceanic portion of the iceberg may be thousands of feet deep, while the visible portion may be just a few feet above the surface.
