Why is the temperature needed to freeze ocean water lower than the temperature to freeze the surface of a fresh water lake?
The ocean is larger than a lake. Therefore, being larger it can absorb more heat. That is why a lower temperature is needed to freeze it.
Why is the temperature needed to freeze ocean water lower than the temperature needed to freeze a surface of a fresh water lake?
The ocean is larger than a lake. Therefore, being larger it can absorb more heat. That is why a lower temperature is needed to freeze it.
Why does it freeze at the bottom of the ocean?
The bottom of the ocean doesn't freeze.
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 does ocean water freeze?
Ocean water freezes just like freshwater, but at lower temperatures. Fresh water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit but seawater freezes at about 28.4 degrees Fahrenheit, because of the salt in it.
Why is the temperature to freeze the surface of ocean water lower than the temperature needed to freeze the surface of water like Lake Superior?
The ocean water has a high amount of dissolved salts.
Why is the deep ocean not frozen?
Because it runs water and it will not freeze
Why is the temperature needed to freeze ocean water lower than the temperature to freeze the surface of a fresh water lake?
The ocean is larger than a lake. Therefore, being larger it can absorb more heat. That is why a lower temperature is needed to freeze it.
Why doesnt the ocean freeze?
Many parts do freeze! However, it does require much lower temperatures to freeze ocean water than fresh water, mainly because the ocean is composed of salt water. Dissolving anything (including salt) in water lowers its freezing point and raises its boiling point.

Why doesn't oceans freeze?

Can salt freeze water?
yes, ocean water can freeze at about -1.91 degrees C.
Why does it freeze at the bottom of the ocean?
The bottom of the ocean doesn't freeze.
Why doesn't surface ocean water not usually freeze at 0 degrees celsius?
Because it's actually moving water it doesn't seem to freeze until -10

How do you raise a lakewater clam?
what do clams eat?
Why is the temperature needed to freeze the ocean water lower than the temperature needed to freeze the surface of a freshwater lake?
