Example of an estuary?

Is the river thames salty?
Is the River Thames Salty? Yes and no. The River Thames is tidal between Teddington (near Richmond) and its mouth in the North Sea, meaning that it rises and falls with the tides. This makes the Thames a bit salty in this area. However, the salinity increases gradually as you move towards the sea, meaning that even at Battersea, the water can still be regarded as 'fresh water' and not salty. you can find out more here: http://www.the-river-thames.co.uk/weather.htm
What would happen if you mixed fresh and salt water together in the marine environment and how would the water layer?
The daily mixing of fresh water and saltwater in estuaries leads to variable and dynamic chemical conditions, especially salinity. Because freshwater flowing into the estuary is less salty and less dense than water from the ocean, it often floats on top of the heavier seawater. An estuary is an area where a freshwater river or stream meets the ocean. When freshwater and seawater combine, the water becomes brackish, or slightly salty.
How does the ocean help us breathe?
It depends what area you are in. If your area uses ocean to transport goods for money then yes it's very important. Also the ocean helps marine biologists do what they do. Ocean water is also put into a desalinization process which makes the water fresh instead of salty. This provides more drinking water for the world.
