how would you define a berggy bit?

Explanation:

1. "Effect" is a noun, while "Affect" is usually a verb. "The Greenhouse Effect" is a well - known term, so "Effect" is correct.
2. "Breif" is misspelled. The correct spelling is "brief".
3. The double negative "can't not" is incorrect. It should be "can't" or "cannot".
4. "Prowl" gives a vivid picture of icebergs moving in the shipping lanes, so the literary device is imagery.
5. The correct chronological order is: c. First, a chunk of ice cracks off a glacier; b. The iceberg becomes almost invisible to ships because most of it is underwater; a. Next, the iceberg began to float with the ocean currents; d. As the iceberg floats, the sun melts the iceberg from the top down.
6. "Sight" refers to something seen. An iceberg is something seen, so "sight" is correct.
7. "Surprized" is misspelled. The correct spelling is "surprised".
8. The nouns are "Wind", "waves", "glacier".
9. When an iceberg is warmed by the sun, it "melts", so "melt" is the correct word.
10. According to the chart, a bergy bit is an iceberg with a height of 3'-13' and a length of 15'-46'.
