actually ice that’s formed naturally is considered a mineral, so it’s also a rock. Water isn’t but ice is

never mind I hate geologists again

nah fam ice is not a rock. a mineral, perhaps, but a rock is defined as being a conglomerate of multiple minerals. ice as a pure substance is not a rock

a single ice might not be a rock but apparently if you have enough ices together and they formed naturally, they become rock… you could say “the Titanic sank after hitting a rock” and geologists would just let you do that

^me and my friends coming after geologists, who are wicked

frozen salt water, being composed of more than one mineral, H2O and NaCl, would be a rock. so yes you are correct in that the titanic sank because it crashed into a floating mountain

^me, having accepted my fate. take me away boys!

Well, icebergs are made from the fresh water of falling snow compacting to form glaciers and then breaking off, so technically they are only made from H20. This article makes the case for gaciers, and therefore icebergs, being metamorphic rocks:

However, if you were to create an exact molecular duplicate of the glacier with magic, or if Mr. Freeze designed a gun that shoots icebergs at Batman, those would not be rocks, I think, because they were formed through magic or superscience rather than nature.

Things are heating up in the rock fandom

I’d say they were cooling down, given the circumstances.
