Can the ocean freeze solid, or is it always in a liquid state?
The ocean can freeze solid in extremely cold temperatures, but this is rare. Typically, the ocean is in a liquid state due to its high salt content, which lowers its freezing point.
Why do rivers and lake freeze in cold regions but not sea water?
One Word Answer:The Salt Explanation:The disolved salt in the sea water acts as a physical barrier between the water molecules and makes it harder for them to bond together and form solid ice, significantly reducing the freezing temperature of the water. Note:Salt water will freeze, but it freezes at a much lower temperature than water without salt in it. Antarctica and The Arctic are both giant, frozen, solid blocks of frozen sea water. Note 2:Not all seas contain salt and will freeze nearly as easily any lake.
Can you freeze an empty bottle?
I would say no. You can make it very cold, but it is already an inflexible (for all intents and purposes) solid.
Does bromine freeze?
Yes, bromine freezes at -7.2°C (19°F) to form a crystalline solid.
What is hydrogen oxide in its solid state?
Hydrogen oxide in its solid state is better known as ice. Ice forms when water molecules freeze and arrange themselves into a crystalline structure. It is a common form of solid water found naturally on Earth's surface.
If ice would sink what happen to earth?
oceans and lakes would freeze solid and all life inthe water would die.
Why do rivers not freeze and lakes do?
the reason rivers don't freeze is because rivers are always moving where as there alot less movement in lakes
How do lakes freeze over?
cold air
Why doesn't water in lakes and ponds of temperature climates freeze solid during the winter killing neary all the living things it contains?
ice floats.
Does the sea have a solid state of matter?
It can freeze and be solid.
Why do rivers and lakes not freeze easily?
While water is moving, its temperatue can drop below zero and it doesn't freeze. Obviously, faster moving rivers are less likely to freeze. For lakes, water's unique density behaviour protects them from freezing. Unlike almost all substances, the solid form of water (ice) is less dense than the liquid form. Ice cubes float. (For almost all other substances, the "cubes" would sink.) So when lakes freeze, the ice stays at the top. This insulates the remaining water from the colder air above. If ice cubes sank, then lakes could freeze all the way to the bottom: the ice that formed would fall to the bottom, continually exposing the top water to the cold air.
Is water a true solid?
If you freeze it, it is.
What is the method to solidify a gas?
To turn a liquid into a solid you have to freeze it. To turn a gas into a solid you must first turn it into a liquid, then freeze it.
Why do freshwater lakes not freeze?
Fresh water lakes do freeze, but very salty waters and moveing water, like the sea, will not freeze except in critically cold conditions. The lake you are reffering to may have moving water running inside it, making movement.
Can you freeze aluminum tins?
You can only freeze liquids; aluminum tin is solid.
What will happen when you freeze a solid?
When you freeze a solid, it loses heat energy causing its particles to slow down and decrease in movement. As a result, the solid will transition into a more ordered, rigid state with a fixed shape and volume.
Why do you freeze a softball?
you dont
