Why does the Arctic Ocean freeze and the Pacific does not?
As water freezes salt is released increasing the percentage of salt in the ocean water, the higher the percentage of salt the lower the freezing temperature of the water. The cycle of water freezing -> salt being released -> more water freezing reaches equilibrium at witch point the temperature necessary to freeze more water is lower then the air temperature.
What part of Canada has the least cold temperature?
Anywhere along the pacific ocean rarely goes below freezing in winter
What is sub freezing temperature?
temperature below freezing point of water.
Why is the temperature needed to freeze the ocean water lower than the temperature needed to freeze the surface of a freshwater lake?
Dissolved salts in water contribute to a decrease of the freezing point.
What temperature is the freezing temperature?
32 degrees Fahrenheit (or 0 degrees celsius) is the point of freezing.
What temperature is the Antarctica waters?
The temperature of the South Ocean's waters can fall as low as 27 degrees F, based on the mineral content of the water, which prevents its freezing at 32 degrees F.
When the temperature is 0 degrees Fahrenheit is it warmer or colder that the freezing temperature of water?
The freezing temperature of water is 0 degrees celsius or 32 degrees fahrenheit so it is colder than the freezing temperature of water.
What conditions are required for it to sleet?
ground temperature below freezing, and air temperature slightly above freezing.
Are melting and freezing point of Platinum are same?
Yes the melting temperature and the freezing temperature of materials are the same.
What are ideal conditions for freezing?
A temperature under the freezing point.
What is the freezing point of Hydrofluorosidic Acid?
Freezing Temperature for Fluoride
What is the temperature that freezing occurs?
This is called the melting (or freezing) point
