Because of the high density presence of salt prevents it from freezing so easily.

Why does sea water freezes faster than fresh water?

sea water doesnt freeze faster than fresh water, fresh water freezes faster than sea water as it has a lower freezing point than sea water has as sea water contains salt which makes the boiling/freezing points increase therefore making the sea water freeze at a lower temperature.


What will freeze the fastest sea salt water tap water or sugar water?

i think tap water will freeze the fastest


Is the sea water easily freeze than pure water?

Sea water has a lower freezing point than pure water due to the presence of salts, which lower the freezing point of the water. This means that sea water will freeze at a lower temperature than pure water.


Why do most lakes freeze in winter but oceans do not?

A solution of salt in water has a lower freezing point than that of pure water. Presence of salt in the sea water causes a lowering of the freezing point. Lakes are mainly fresh water which will freeze at a higher temperature than sea water. Which means a fresh water lake will freeze over before the sea will because the temperature needs to be much colder to freeze sea water because of the salt dissolved in the sea water.

sea + water who ever put this is an idiot cus clearly it doesnt make ocean it doesnt even mix


Do sea water freeze before fresh water?

No, sea water freezes at a lower temperature than fresh water, because of the minerals -- mostly salt -- contained in sea water. Sea water may not freeze until it reaches 27 or 28 degrees F. Fresh water freezes at 32 degrees F.

Does salt decrease the melting point of water?

Yes, sea water can freeze up to - 3 0C.


Why do rivers and lake freeze in cold regions but not sea water?

One Word Answer:The Salt Explanation:The disolved salt in the sea water acts as a physical barrier between the water molecules and makes it harder for them to bond together and form solid ice, significantly reducing the freezing temperature of the water. Note:Salt water will freeze, but it freezes at a much lower temperature than water without salt in it. Antarctica and The Arctic are both giant, frozen, solid blocks of frozen sea water. Note 2:Not all seas contain salt and will freeze nearly as easily any lake.


Why do freshwater lakes not freeze?

Fresh water lakes do freeze, but very salty waters and moveing water, like the sea, will not freeze except in critically cold conditions. The lake you are reffering to may have moving water running inside it, making movement.


What water will not freeze?

Water with a high salt content, such as seawater or brine, will have a lower freezing point compared to pure water. This means it will remain in liquid form at lower temperatures than pure water.
