Answer:

Icebergs

Step-by-step explanation:

Icebergs are big boulders that come off glaciers. Tides and currents act on the ice that is submerged on the edges of the continents, moving it up and down. Over time, microfractures appear, which expand until part of the ice completely separates, creating the iceberg.
