Would you expect the seawater just below the floating ice in the Arctic Ocean to be higher or lower in salinity then the water in the deep zone there?

When ocean water freezes into sea ice, some of the salt is incorporated into the new ice. Thereafter, that salt drains as brine (salt plus water), causing the layer of water below to be of higher salinity.

How do you explain the peculiarity on the salinity of sea water and similarly for the hardness of water?
The salinity of seawater is primarily due to the presence of dissolved salts, mainly sodium chloride. This occurs over time as water flows through rivers, picks up minerals from rocks, and eventually reaches the ocean. The hardness of water is caused by the presence of minerals such as calcium and magnesium. These minerals can enter water sources through the dissolution of rocks and soil, contributing to the hardness of the water.
In which ocean would you NOT expect to experience a tropical cyclone?
Either the Arctic Ocean or the Antarctic Ocean, since neither has a tropical component.
What weather should you expect in the Himalayas?
you should expect maybe cold weather in the Himalayas.
What type of weather do you expect in a high-pressure system?
You expect calm weather with few or no clouds.
Would you expect the mantle to be hotter or cooler than the inner and outer cores?
I expect for the mantle to be cooler

Where are garden spiders found?
everywhere expect for the Arctic and Antarctic.
In what biome would you expect to find caribou?
Tundra. The arctic tundra in the summer and then they migrate to the Boreal Forest in the winter.
What kinds of roots might you expect to find on plants that grow in arctic soil?
The roots of plants in arctic soil are shallow, but I am not sure why. Sorry!
What does a new Arctic Cat Prowler cost?
A new Arctic Cat Prowler is fairly expensive. One can expect to pay at least about 12,000 dollars when purchasing a new Arctic Cat Prowler on average.
What effects do you expect on the oceans salinity near a desert?
near the desert(30 degrese latitude) more water is evaporated than returned to the ocean by rainfall or rivers\canals.thereforth the ocean salinity near the deserts would be higher than most other latitudes
Does the arctic tundra get tropical storms?
No. As you might expect from the name, tropical storms do not stray too far from the tropics.
Why would you expect an animal that lives in freshwater to have a well-developed excretory system?
They are most prominent in freshwater amoebae as marine amoebae are closer to isotonicity with seawater than freshwater.
In which ocean would you NOT expect to experience a tropical cyclone?
Either the Arctic Ocean or the Antarctic Ocean, since neither has a tropical component.
How do you Summarize the properties (temperature salinity density) you would expect to find at different depths of the ocean?
You need to answer this question. It is asking for your critical thinking skills and how well you understood the lesson. It is an essay question and we don’t do students essays.
Which ions comprise about 85 percent of the solutes in seawater?
I don't know about percentages, but since sea water has a lot of salt, I would expect that to be sodium and chlorine. (That is the common table salt; sea water also has some other salts.)
What is the price for a smith corona floating shift model?
Price varies on condition and rarity but most black models can be bought for $50 or less. Expect to pay more for the special color models such as green, blue or maroon.
