Does the sun heat fresh water and salt water at the same time?

The sun heats both fresh water and salt water through a process called solar radiation. However, salt water has a higher heat capacity and can hold more heat than fresh water. This means that salt water will heat up more slowly than fresh water, but it will also retain heat for a longer period of time. In general, both types of water will eventually reach the same temperature when exposed to the same amount of sunlight.


How does saltwater intrusion happen?

Saltwater intrusion is the movement of ocean water into fresh groundwater that causes contamination of the freshwater by salt. This is a process of nature and usually occurs near the coastlines where the fresh groundwater level approaches the same level as the sea.

What is the differencein pressure between salt water and fresh water at different depths?

Currents and thermal gradients aside, salt water is slightly more dense than fresh water, so (at the same depth, for the same temperature) the pressure in salt water will be creater than for fresh water. The difference in pressure will be (pressure in fresh water) x (density of salt water/density of fresh).

the same. the salt isn't evaporated, only the h2o, so fresh and salt water evaporate the same unless there is another liquid in one of the two types of water.


is the water salt water or fresh water?

this depends on where the water is, if its in a swamp in the everglades it is considered brackish which is both salt and fresh water, in the ocean the water is salt water, if your at a lake, pond, or stream then it is fresh water, and if you are talking about water in a salt water pool the water isnt really salt water it just has chemicals to have the same effect.
