Ice actually has a lower density than water. The warm water at the top of the ocean sinks towards the bottom where it is very, very cold... but not freezing cold. If ice could exist in the abyss, it already would... all those icebergs and things would have sunk to the bottom of the ocean if water applied to the same rule as most other substances (becoming more dense when it hits its freezing point). So, more or less, if it could freeze there it would all float to the top.

How long do it take salt water or water to freeze and which one freeze quicker?

Salt water takes longer to freeze than plain water because the salt lowers the freezing point of the water. The time it takes for either to freeze depends on the temperature of the environment and the concentration of salt in the water. Generally, plain water will freeze faster than salt water in the same conditions.


If you add water to sand will it freeze?

No, adding water to sand will not cause the mixture to freeze. Freezing occurs when water reaches a temperature below 32°F (0°C). Sand alone does not have a freezing point, but the water within the sand can freeze if the temperature drops low enough.


Can salt water freeze completely?

Yes, salt water can freeze completely. However, the presence of salt decreases the freezing point of water, so it will freeze at a lower temperature compared to pure water. This is why salt is often used to prevent roads from freezing in colder temperatures.


Why water freezes before salt water?

Water freezes before salt water because adding salt lowers the freezing point of water. This means that salt water needs to reach a lower temperature in order to freeze compared to pure water. As a result, pure water will freeze at a higher temperature than salt water.


How long does it take for salt water to freeze compared to water?

Salt water freezes at a lower temperature than regular water, so it will take longer for salt water to freeze compared to pure water. The exact time can vary based on the salt concentration, but generally, salt water will take longer to freeze due to its lower freezing point.

Why doesnt the abyss freeze?

there is to much preasure down there. ice has to have a way to expand when it frezes. if there is too much water on top of it, it cant expand because of all of the weight.

Can boiling water freeze in the air?

No, boiling water cannot freeze in the air. Boiling water needs to cool down before it can freeze, and the air is not cold enough to freeze boiling water instantly.
