Why is the temperature needed to freeze ocean water lower than the temperature to freeze the surface of a fresh water lake?
The ocean is larger than a lake. Therefore, being larger it can absorb more heat. That is why a lower temperature is needed to freeze it.

Why is the temperature to freeze the surface of ocean water lower than the temperature needed to freeze the surface of water like Lake Superior?
The ocean water has a high amount of dissolved salts.
Why is the temperature needed to freeze ocean water lower than the temperature need to freeze the surface of a freshwater lake?
because the ocean has salt in it rather than freshwater lake Because fresh water on the surface of a lake is frozen. Under similar conditions, salt water is not frozen.

Which would freeze at a higher temperature the great salt lake or Lake Tahoe?
lake tahoe would freeze at a higher temperature
Why is the temperature needed to freeze the ocean water lower than the temperature needed to freeze the surface of a freshwater lake?
Dissolved salts in water contribute to a decrease of the freezing point.
Why is the temperature needed to freeze ocean water lower than the temeperature needed to freeze the surface of a freshwater lake?
cos it contains salt :)
At what temperature does a lake freeze over?
A lake won't start to freeze until the water from the surface to the bottom reaches 40F. It can be noted by simple observation that this happens first around the shoreline. Once the whole lake reaches 40F, the surface will continue to get colder. When the surface of the water drops to 32F, it starts freezing.
Why do most lakes freeze in winter but oceans do not?
A solution of salt in water has a lower freezing point than that of pure water. Presence of salt in the sea water causes a lowering of the freezing point. Lakes are mainly fresh water which will freeze at a higher temperature than sea water. Which means a fresh water lake will freeze over before the sea will because the temperature needs to be much colder to freeze sea water because of the salt dissolved in the sea water.
Was Lake Tahoe ever completely frozen?
No, Lake Tahoe has never completely frozen over. It is to large a body of water (about 40 trillion gallons) for the core temperature to get low enough to freeze. On occasion, Emerald Bay will freeze over which is attached by a narrow, shallow opening.
