What is the sources of the water in a river?
Usually snow melt from mountains at the beginning of the river.
What is the equivalent depth of one atmosphere in the ocean equal to in fresh water and sea water?
33 feet in sea water, 34 feet in fresh water
How is ocean water different from fresh water?
Ocean water has a higher salinity level due to the presence of dissolved salts, while fresh water has a lower salinity level. Ocean water is also denser and can support different types of marine life compared to fresh water ecosystems. Additionally, ocean water covers a much larger percentage of the Earth's surface compared to fresh water.
Do fish live in fresh water and salt water?
Some do- salmon spawn in fresh water but live mostly in the ocean. Most fish live in either one or the other, not both.
One example about Osmosis in the real world?
osmosis is the diffusion of water When a fresh water plant is in the ocean (salt water) then the ocean will be hypertonic and water will rush out with the concentration gradient to try and reach an equal balance.

Why doesn't ocean water ever get diluted by fresh water rivers running into the oceans?
Ocean water is diluted by the rivers. Probably the best example of this is where the Amazon river meets the ocean. Approximately 160km away from the mouth of the river Amazon, the ocean water is still fresh enough to drink. It probably doesn't taste very nice though. IN ADDITION: Volume. The amount of fresh water that flows into the ocean can be measured in parts per million. It doesn't have the volume needed to change the salinity of the ocean as a whole. It would be equivalent to adding one drop of food coloring to a swimming pool and trying to notice the difference later. +++ Such dilution is local, but the ocean's salinity is by no means homogenous anyway. The water circulation is cyclic, with vapour from the sea being distilled water. Once it falls as rain or snow, it collects minerals from the rocks the rivers are eroding, helping maintain the sea's overall cocktail of dissolved salts. So the rivers have no real effect on the sea's saltiness overall, but if anything maintain it.
What was one word that drescrides water that is not fresh and partly salty?
The word that describes water that is not fresh and partly salty is "brackish." Brackish water typically occurs in estuaries where freshwater from rivers meets and mixes with saltwater from the ocean, resulting in a unique habitat that supports various ecosystems.
Is the sea of Azov fresh or salt water?
The Adriatic Sea has a salinity of 38%, making it one of the more salty seas on earth and giving it its deep blue color. Is that good enough? Your Welcome.TRANSLATION: It's saltwater.
