What is the difference between plain water and salt water?
salt water is in oceans and fresh water is in only swamps, ponds, bogs, and even in frozen glaciers. freshwater ecosystems are not salty. saltwater is very salty and has different zones where organisms live
What term is given to such liquid if alcohol and water mixed?
Mixture or solution are possible names
What is a that describes water that is not fresh and partly salty?
"Brackish" water. "Urine" would also be a valid answer.

What is the term for a mixture of oil vinegar and water?
The general term is vinaigrette, which is oil with vinegar or lemon juice added.Italian dressing is one type, depending on herbs and vinegar types.
What is the word for brackish water?
ANSWER:In the southern part of the US, we refer to it as black water or swamp water. The actual term for it is Brack water. It is caused by the increase of tannic acid from decaying leaves from hardwood trees and cedar and cypress needles. It also describes water that is a mix of freshwater and saltwater area like watersheds and estuaries.
Will bangus or milkfish thrive in freshwater pond?
Bangus, or milkfish, primarily thrive in brackish water environments, such as coastal areas where freshwater and saltwater mix. They are not well-suited for freshwater ponds, as their physiology is adapted to higher salinity levels. While they may survive for short periods in freshwater, their long-term health and growth would be compromised. For optimal growth, bangus should be raised in brackish or saltwater conditions.
What is a term for an area where a river flows into the ocean?
The term for an area where a river flows into the ocean is an estuary. Estuaries are typically characterized by brackish water - a mixture of freshwater and saltwater - and support unique ecosystems due to this mix of habitats.
What is the term that means lives in salt water?
There isn't really a blanket term that refers to an animal that lives in salt water as opposed to freshwater. A lot of the time, salt water wildlife is simply referred to as 'aquatic'. The closest term you're likely to find is 'marine', ie 'a marine aquarium'. Sometimes the world 'saltwater' is used, ie 'a saltwater aquarium', 'a saltwater invertebrate'. The most accurate terms are likely to reference specific saltwater environments, ie 'a reef fish', because there is a lot of difference between the warm, shallow salt water over a tropical reef and the cold, deep, fast-moving water of the deep oceans.Another answer: The correct term is simply marine, which literally means 'of the sea.' Aquatic refers to water, both fresh water and salt water.
What is a sentence using the word minnow?

What will happen if you put a saltwater fish into a freshwater aquarium?
No, definitely not. Saltwater and freshwater fish are adapted to totally different conditions, and so they can't live together in the same aquarium. Both freshwater and saltwater fish have a certain concentration of salt in their cells. This concentration is very similar between fresh and saltwater fish. This concentration lies somewhere between that of freshwater (which contains, by definition, no detectable salt) and seawater. The natural process of osmosis is the movement of water from a less concentrated salt solution into a more concentrated salt solution through a semi-permeable membrane (one that allows the free passage of water through it, but not salts - such as the membrane which encloses a cell.) The salt level inside the cells of a freshwater fish is greater than that of the water it swims in. This means that a freshwater fish is always trying to retain salt, and excrete excess water. Its kidneys have evolved to excrete the excess water as extremely dilute urine, and retain virtually all of the salt that it ingests. On the other hand, the salt level inside the cells of a saltwater fish is much less than that of its marine environment. This means that a marine fish is constantly trying to prevent a fatal buildup of salt inside its cells, and to get water. It drinks seawater and constantly excretes salt through its gills and urine. These similar but opposite processes are known as osmoregulation. When you put a fish that has adapted to either fresh or salt water into the opposite situation, its osmoregulation system backfires. Placed in salt water, a freshwater fish will experience a rapid buildup of salt in its tissues and will die of salt poisoning, because it has evolved to retain salt, not excrete it. Placed in freshwater, a saltwater fish will become quickly waterlogged because it has no mechanisms to cope with the fresh water that is entering its cells, and it will die.There are a LOT of scams on the internet that claim they can acclimatise freshwater fish to saltwater, saltwater fish to freshwater, and either fresh or saltwater fish to brackish water (which is somewhere between fresh and salt water in salinity.) They're called scams for a reason. If acclimatised slowly, freshwater fish can usually cope with a small amount of salt, and saltwater fish with a fair amount less salt than is found in normal seawater. However, this causes suffering to the fish, is extremely likely to stunt its growth and shorten its lifespan, could render it sterile, and is very likely to kill it even in the short term. A lot of these scams concern brackish water or salt tolerant fish. There are two groups of freshwater fish: primary freshwater fish (which evolved in freshwater) and secondary freshwater fish (which evolved from seawater fish). The latter still have some mechanisms to cope with salt in the water. A lot of them are brackish (live permanently in water that is between fresh and saltwater in salinity), estuarine (cope with wide daily swings in salinity with the tides), or migratory (move between areas of different salinity in their lifespan.) A lot of them are usually sold for either fresh or saltwater tanks, but can be easily adapted to just about anything in between. Good examples include most mollies (Poecilia spp.) which can cope with hard freshwater to marine conditions. So it is possible to keep SOME species that are usually associated with marine or fresh conditions, in brackish water. However, if you have a freshwater aquarium and you've got your eye on a saltwater fish - forget it. It's never going to work, and any claim that you can acclimatise true saltwater fish to freshwater is totally false.
Can you add salt water to tropical fish tanks?
Yes, most freshwater fish were not made to live in saltwater and they can die in the ocean. This is caused by a great loss of weight, due to the water in the fish being pulled out by the salt, and eventually death. About 2% of freshwater fish change to a saltwater environment sometime in their life, but this change happens gradually and they would most likely die if put suddenly into a saltwater environment.
What is the term for water that is intermediate in salinity between freshwater and seawater?
brackish
How do you call something that lives in water?
Something that lives in water is called an aquatic organism. This term encompasses a wide variety of life forms, including fish, amphibians, aquatic plants, and various invertebrates. These organisms are adapted to thrive in aquatic environments, whether freshwater or saltwater.
What are bodies of water surrounded by water called?
A body of body surrounded by land is can be referred to by several different names. A lake - Generally a freshwater body of water that is fairly sizable. A sea - Usually a saltwater body of water with no outlet to the ocean (such as the Dead Sea). A pond - A smaller body of water than a lake. Usually man made. Usually the preferred term for a large freshwater body of water would be "lake" and a large body of salt water would be a "sea".
What is the difference between plain water and salt water?
salt water is in oceans and fresh water is in only swamps, ponds, bogs, and even in frozen glaciers. freshwater ecosystems are not salty. saltwater is very salty and has different zones where organisms live
