∙ 9y agoThe properties of ocean water include higher salinity than fresh water, has far more dissolved elements and compounds than fresh water, as well as slightly alkaline in nature. It also flows through various currents running around the world and has a lower freezing point than fresh water.

What the list of properties that ocean water had due to the fact that it contains salt?
Liquid liquid gas
What does oceanography study?
Oceanology is the study of marine life. It explains what will happen to the world thanks to water, both the advantages and disadvantages. So it is basically everything that has to do with water on Earth.
What chemical properties do dry ice and water ice have different?
Dry ice is CO2 and water is H2O; all the chemical properties are different.
What is the ocean system?
Ocean System: The Ocean System is made out of all of the oceans, the rivers, the lakes. (basecally all of the water part of the whole world)
What are the bad properties of iron?
All I can think of is that it rusts when exposed to water
Does ocean water have all of the properties of salt?
No, because ocean water is not salt. Ocean water does have salt dissolved in it, but there are distinct chemical and physical differences. First, ocean water is not crystalline while salt is. Second, ocean water is a solution with many different solutes while salt is a pure compound.
Does ocean water have all the same properties as salt?
No! Not all of the ocean are salt or have salt. Salt is a mineral to the poors along time ago. The ocean water comes from the toliet that you flush. Did you know that? The water you flush goes to the oceans, that's is why it is salty. The saltness can help the animals to actually survie!
What properties most determines water's position in the ocean?
Desity Nova Net
Why do individual water masses within the oceans retain distinctive physical properties for long periods of time?
it matters on the Temperature of the water and the physical properties that are in the ocean
What properties most determines water's vertical position in the ocean?
Desity Nova Net
What the list of properties that ocean water had due to the fact that it contains salt?
Liquid liquid gas
What percentage of water flows in to the ocean?
Eventually, all water flows to the ocean.
Why are arctic ocean and the Antarctic Ocean colder than 0 degrees celsius?
Because of the colligative properties, ocean water's freezing point is below that of normal "pure" water. The salts disrupt the formation of a lattice, and it requires a lower temperature for the water to freeze.
What does oceanography study?
Oceanology is the study of marine life. It explains what will happen to the world thanks to water, both the advantages and disadvantages. So it is basically everything that has to do with water on Earth.
Is the Atlantic Ocean fresh or salt water?
Like all oceans and seas, the Atlantic Ocean is salt water.
Why are all samples of a given substance have the same intensive properties?
The properties of a pure substance do not vary from sample to sample because there is no reason for them to. Why would they? Water is water, and if you take any sample of water from any stream, lake or ocean and remove all the "stuff" in it to leave only the water, all the samples will behave the same way physically and chemically. The chemical properties of a substance (and the physical ones, too) are set by what the substance is. And these properties define the way the substance behaves in the universe as a whole. There is no reason for any water found on, say Mars, to behave any differently than any water here on Earth - or anywhere else in the universe.
What are all the names you can call an ocean?
Ocean, Sea, Water, Salt Water. You cant really call an ocean that many things...
