Waters freeze based on temperature and the presence of impurities. When the temperature drops to the freezing point of water (0°C or 32°F), pure water will freeze, but factors like salinity, pressure, and the presence of dissolved substances can lower the freezing point, preventing some bodies of water from freezing. For instance, saltwater has a lower freezing point than freshwater, which is why oceans and seas may remain liquid in icy conditions. Additionally, moving water, like rivers, is less likely to freeze due to the constant motion preventing the formation of ice.
