What water gets cold faster saltwater or freshwater?
It doesn't make a difference weather it is saltwater or freshwater because they will cool at the same rate it is just that when saltwater evaporates it will leave the salt particles behind.
How do animals use the water?
They drink freshwater, and if they're a fish, they breathe saltwater or freshwater through their gills.
Why is it easier to float in saltwater than in fresh water then in fresh water?
Because salt is dense, so denser the water the better you float!
Animals that can live in both saltwater and freshwater?
a type of free-floating and weekly swimming algae
What do you call freshwater and saltwater mixed together?
An area where fresh river water mingles with tidal sea water is termed 'brackish'. Examples are: estuaries and mangrove swamps.
What are the densities of freshwater and saltwater?
the densities are different (Saltwater has a greater density than freshwater.)
Which is heavier saltwater or freshwater?
Saltwater is heavier because saltwater contains salt which adds to its overall weight. Freshwater does not have any dissolved salt so it is lighter then saltwater
Does salt in water increase buyancey?
Yes, salt increases the density of water, which in turn increases buoyancy. When an object is placed in saltwater, it experiences a greater buoyant force compared to freshwater because of the higher density of the saltwater.
Why saltwater is warmer than freshwater?
Saltwater is generally warmer than freshwater due to its higher density and specific heat capacity. The presence of salt lowers the freezing point and raises the boiling point of water, allowing it to retain heat more effectively. Additionally, saltwater's greater density means it can absorb and retain heat energy better than freshwater, leading to slightly warmer temperatures in oceanic environments compared to freshwater bodies.
Will 500 gallons of saltwater have the same density as one gallon of freshwater?
No
Why does freshwater float on saltwater?
Freshwater is less dense than saltwater because it has a lower concentration of dissolved salts. This difference in density causes freshwater to float on top of saltwater, creating distinct layers when they meet.
Does freshwater have a lower density than salt water?
Yes, fresh water has a slightly lower density than salt water.
What is better for drinking saltwater or freshwater?
Saltwater has a higher density than freshwater.
Why would egg float in saltwater and and not freshwater?
Eggs can float in saltwater because the high density of saltwater makes the overall density of the egg lower than that of the water, causing it to float. In freshwater, the egg is denser than the less dense water and therefore sinks.
Are crocodiles freshwater of saltwater?
they are both saltwater and freshwater
Are estuaries saltwater or freshwater?
They contain saltwater and freshwater
Is the Persian Gulf saltwater or freshwater?
The Persian Gulf is saltwater, not freshwater.
