Is there more fresh water than salt water on the earth?
NO.
Do rivers have salt water in them?
No, rivers typically have fresh water, not salt water. Salt water is found in oceans and seas.
What is it called when salt and fresh water meet?
Short answer:When fresh water meets salt water and they mix, the result is brackish water.(See related questions for a discussion of the variety of places where this occurs.)The name of a place where salt water and fresh water mix is often an estuary which is a partially enclosed region usually near the mouth of a river. (See related link.)More:An estuary is a partially enclosed area where a fresh water source such as a river flows into a salt water body such as a sea or ocean. The area is termed an estuary if both ocean and salt water influxes substantially determine the nature of the body of water, hence it would normally be partially enclosed and retaining a significant portion of fresh water influx that is not immediately diluted into the seawater.Estuaries are often both interesting biological systems and interesting geological formations.Note: For the more general question of where fresh and salt water meet, see related questions.Note: If one is interested in the halocline, which is a strong vertical gradient of salt concentration form sometimes at the interface of fresh water and salt water, then that is a different question.estuaryBrackwater
Which province has borders on fresh water and salt water?
Nova Scotia is the province in Canada that has borders on both fresh water (Atlantic Ocean) and salt water (Bay of Fundy).
Does salt water condensate?
No. The reason for this deals with the nature of condensation and solutions. A solution is a liquid where the dominant liquid or solvent has other solids, liquids, or ions, in it called solutes. Saltwater is a solution where water is the solvent and the salts are the solutes. When a solution boils, the solutes and solvents split apart. For example, vodka is a solution where water is a solvent and alcohol is the solute. Since alcohol boils at a lower temperature than water the alcohol boils off before the water does. In the case of saltwater, the water boils long before salt. Condensation is when a gas turns into a liquid. Since the water vapor does not carry salt (i.e. fresh water vapor from boiled saltwater), it does not condense as saltwater but as fresh water.
Does salt and fresh mix?
It is quite easy to mix salt water and fresh water, which produces a more dilute form of salt water.
What happens when fresh water is added to salt water?
When fresh water is added to salt water, the two types of water will initially form distinct layers due to differences in density. Over time, through a process called mixing and diffusion, the fresh water and salt water will blend together, creating a more uniform salt concentration throughout the mixture.
Why does fresh water float on top of salt water?
Fresh water is less dense than salt water because it has fewer dissolved ions. This difference in density causes fresh water to float on top of salt water, creating distinct layers. Salt water is more concentrated with ions, making it denser and causing it to sink below the less dense fresh water.
Contrast salt water and fresh water?
Fresh and salt water are very different for one key reason, fresh water doesn't contain salt and salt water obviously does. There are different flora and fauna in fresh and salt water for this reason.
What happens when fresh water and salt water come together?
When fresh water and salt water come together, they form a boundary known as a "halocline" where the two types of water mix but do not completely blend. This can create unique ecosystems where marine and freshwater species coexist. The mixing of fresh and salt water can also affect water density and circulation patterns in the ocean.
What happens when salt water is poured into the glass containing cold tap water?
When salt water is poured into a glass containing cold tap water, the two liquids will initially mix together. Because salt water is denser than fresh water, it will sink to the bottom. Eventually, the two liquids may form distinct layers, with the denser salt water at the bottom and the less dense fresh water at the top.
Dose a swimmer float better in fresh salt water or non fresh salt water?
on fresh salt water
What is salt water and fresh water?
Salt water is water that has salt in it and it is found in oceans. Fresh water does not have salt and is found in rivers and lakes.
Is the Jordan river fresh water or salt water?
salt water
Salt water and fresh water difference?
Salt water is basically just fresh water with salt mixed in.
Salt water and fresh water differences?
Salt water is basically just fresh water with salt mixed in.
What includes fresh and salt water?
Salt water contain salt, fresh water is practically pure.
