Tropical fresh water supports less weight than cold North Atlantic water because it is saltless and warmer. This makes tropical water more buoyant, producing less upthrust than that of the North Atlantic.

Tropical fresh water is less dense and produces less upthrust. Water in winter in the North Atlantic is more dense as the particle bonds are stronger and is more dense. Also I am a student and this for others to get better science grades. hope it helps 🥰🥰

Why does tropical freshwater produce more upthrust that water in winter in the north Atlantic?

tropical fresh water produces less upthrust in winter than the North Atlantic because tropical water is warmer than the cold water of the North Atlantic. I need one more reason though: for homework tropical fresh water produces less upthrust in winter than the North Atlantic because tropical water is warmer than the cold water of the North Atlantic. I need one more reason though: for homework


There are two reasons why tropical freshwater produces less upthrust than water in winter in the north atlantic but what are they?

In tropical seas the water is warmer so it is less dense than in colder areas. The ship sinks lower in water, as cargo is loaded, to displace a greater weight of water. Fresh water also produces less upthrust than sea water.


Why does water in winter in the North Atlantic produce more upthrust than tropical fresh water?

because it is warmer than Atlantic water and has no salt therefore less buoyancy

Would a boat floating in a sea have more or less upthrust than the same in freshwater?

Assuming its weight hasn't changed, then as it is floating, the upthrust on it equals its weight and so is the same. What WILL change, however, is how deep in the water it floats. The upthrust is provided by the weight of the displaced volume of water, the volume of which depends upon the density of the water which depends upon the temperature and saltiness (amongst other things) of the water. As freshwater is less dense than [briny] sea water, it will require more volume for the same weight and so the ship will float deeper in freshwater than in [briny] sea water. This can be seen in the load lines on the "Plimsoll Line" where the Freshwater line is much higher than, say, the Winter North Atlantic line (the latter being more salty and colder, and so much more dense) meaning that for the same load, that the waterline in Freshwater will be much higher up the ship than in Winter North Atlantic (or alternatively, the ship will float much deeper in the Freshwater than the Winter North Atlantic).
