What kinds of water collect in a lake?
fresh
What is the salt water to fresh water ratio?
The ratio of salt water to fresh water on the Earth is approximately 40 to 1. The oceans are comprised of salt water.
Is underground water called fresh water?
Underground water is called underground water, because it is "underground" not because it is fresh or salt. You can have underground salt water reservoirs just like you can have fresh water ones.
Are coral reefs fresh water salt water or both?
coral reefs are fresh water
Can you pipe ocean water into ground to refill aquifer?
No. It is salt water and fresh water is needed.
Will ice float in salt water?
Yes, icebergs are fresh water.
How can icebergs be used as fresh water?
salt water freezes at a lower temperature than fresh water so the fresh water gets frozen and not the salt water
Icebergs are made of sea water or fresh water or both?
Icebergs are made of fresh water.
What kind of water is used to make an iceberg salt water or fresh water?
Fresh Water cause 2 % of the 3 percent of fresh water on Earth is in the icecaps, glaciers, and icebergs.
Is snow made from fresh water?
I should think it would be made of salt water since the icebergs I have heard of are all in the ocean. They are pure water as they are created from glaciers and since glacier ice is formed from falling snow and snow results from condensed water vapor in the atmosphere, the water from icebergs is quite pure.
Are icebergs formed from frozen salt water?
no not necessarily if fresh water gets too cold it can form an iceberg too.
Why do ichebergs float?
Because they are made up of fresh water, which is less dense than salt water. The global-warming problem is also effected by the ammount of fresh water introduced into the oceans by melting icebergs.
Are ice glaciers in salt water?
Icebergs that break off into the ocean from glaciers do not contain salt, as they are formed by freshwater on land (snow, ice). Icebergs that form in the ocean mostly do not contain salt either. This is because as the seawater freezes, it forms a crystal structure (ice) that prevents salt ions from being included.
describe 2 sources of fresh water?
icebergs, rivers
How much of earth fresh water is in icebergs and glaciers?
3%
Contrast salt water and fresh water?
Fresh and salt water are very different for one key reason, fresh water doesn't contain salt and salt water obviously does. There are different flora and fauna in fresh and salt water for this reason.
Do icebergs from the North or South Pole taste salty?
The surface of any iceberg will taste salty, because it floats in salt water. The interior ice, however, is frozen fresh water.
