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.
