The ratio of salt water to fresh water on the Earth is approximately 40 to 1. The oceans are comprised of salt water.
Fresh water and salt water form layers due to differences in density. Salt water is denser than fresh water, so when they come into contact, the salt water sinks beneath the fresh water, creating distinct layers. This process is known as stratification.
No, rivers typically have fresh water, not salt water. Salt water is found in oceans and seas.
Nova Scotia is the province in Canada that has borders on both fresh water (Atlantic Ocean) and salt water (Bay of Fundy).
Rainforest water is typically fresh water, derived from rainfall, rivers, and streams. Salt water bodies such as oceans and seas are not present within a rainforest ecosystem.
No, salt water accounts for about 97% of Earth's water, while fresh water only makes up about 3%. This fresh water is primarily found in ice caps, glaciers, lakes, and underground aquifers.
No. Toys float better on salt water than on fresh water because salt water has higher density, and the ratio of density controls buoyancy.
Hudson Bay is in fact both. Taking into account the inflow of salt water that flows in from the Arctic Ocean (Fax Basin) and fresh water from the rivers that pour into James Bay/ Hudson Bay the ratio of fresh water to salt water is 2:5. Taking into account the fresh water that comes from the thawing of the ice cover on James Bay/Hudson Bay the ratio is 4:5.
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.
Because water evaporates leaving the salt behind and re balancing the ratio between salt and water.
on fresh salt 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.
salt water
Salt water is basically just fresh water with salt mixed in.
Salt water is basically just fresh water with salt mixed in.
Salt water contain salt, fresh water is practically pure.
Peru has both Fresh and Salt water. Salt Water in the ocean and Fresh in lakes, streams, and on the mountains.
Salt water has salt water in it and is bad for you, fresh water has no salt water in it and is good for you.
