The answer could lie in enclosing the floating ice in a huge cylindrical container made of a high -strength synthetic fabric If the iceberg were nudged into the fabric container, which is opened at both ends, then the ends could be sealed and the sea water pumped out After that it could be towed to civilization The melting rate would be slowed down and the synthetic cocoon would act as a holding tank for the water Engineering this project, which might include a contamer up to one kilometer in length and 100 meters in diameter, would be a feat, but engineers say it is possible After all, fishermen in North Australia sometimes use nets kilometers long and 20 meters across 51 The word “ concept” in line is most similar to which of the following?
