Does a ship added into water increase the waters weight?

Does waters melting point increase when you add salt?
Nope. It decreases. By lowering the melting/freezing point of water, salt (usually in the form of rock salt) can be used to keep roads and other surfaces clear of ice, as it requires lower temperatures than normal to freeze.
Why is evaporation greater over warm waters?
The movement of molecules increase when the temperature increase; some molecules at the water surface can escape as a gas.
A layer in a body of water in which water temperature drops with increased depth faster than it does in other layers?
This is known as a thermocline. It is a layer where the temperature decreases rapidly with depth. The thermocline often separates the warm surface waters from the colder deeper waters in a lake or ocean.
What do fertilisers do to help to environment?
Fertilizers are used to increase the production in agriculture; but the irrational use can lead to the pollution of soils and waters.
Do boats float higher or lower in tropical waters?
higher as when the temprature rises the density of the water/liquid decreases, so does the buoyant force that the water/liquid exerts on an object such as a boat or vessel
Does detergent decrease or increase water tension?
it decreases water tension you can prove this by gettin water putting it into a bucket then apply talcum powder to the waters suface do not mix it then apply a single drop of detergent into the bucket the talcum powder looks like its a cracked piece of glass this happens because the water tension has changed !!!!supplement. Perhaps Surface Tension is the proper name of the property.
