What does salt do to the sea?
Salted water is denser than pure water; the freezing point is lower.
Do particles make objects denser?
Particles do make objects denser than they normally may be. For example, if you add particles of salt to water, the water will become more dense. Alternately, if you filter impurities out of water it will become less dense.
What is the name for waterdrops that fall when the temperature is below freezing and the water become solid?
Depending on the temperature, water drops that fall when the temperature is below freezing can become sleet, ice, or snow.
The freezing point of a substance is?
The freezing point of water in Celsius is 0 degrees Celsius. The freezing point in Fahrenheit is 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
Which is denser river water distilled water tap water or sea water?
Salt water is denser than fresh water
What does salt do to the sea?

How is water different to most substances when it is at freezing point?
Water expands when it freezes. Ice is lighter and denser than liquid water. Ice Floats! Most substances get denser when they turn from liquid to solid.
How does salt water become denser?
from the addition of salt
How does thawing and freezing of water cause weather?
by the coldness of freezing and the warmness of thawing
What is unique about H2O when it freezes?
It expends on freezing and its solid state (Ice) is less denser than liquid state (Water).
Do particles make objects denser?

Why doesn't cold dye rise into warm water?
When water freezes it undergoes?
- At the freezing point water become from a liquid a solid.- Freezing is accompanied by an expansion, the volume is greater.- Freezing is a physical process, the nature of the molecule remain unchanged.- Water freezing is an endothermic process.
What is the name for waterdrops that fall when the temperature is below freezing and the water become solid?
Depending on the temperature, water drops that fall when the temperature is below freezing can become sleet, ice, or snow.
Does freezing cause water to expand and crack rock?
yes
What physical processes cause water to turn to ice?
Freezing
Extreme temperatures freezing water and vegetation can cause whaT?
weathering
