What else can I help you with?
Does salt water affect floating or sinking?
Salt increases the density of water, thus makes it easier to float.I've always had troubles floating while swimming in fresh water, but the difference when swimming in the sea is quite noticeable.There are many notes of people doing experiments with floating eggs with salt water versus fresh water.
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 are the differences between salt water and fresh water?
the difference between salt water and fresh water is that salt water is from the ocean and fresh water is water that hasn't gotten to the ocean and so the water is clean, And you can only drink fresh water not salt water
What is the difference between fresh water and potable water?
the difference between fresh water and potable water is fresh water can come form the ground, and/or, ice burgs.
Does salt water clean better than fresh water?
Fresh water ..... lol
What is a floating mass of fresh water in the sea?
An iceberg. A piece of ice that has broken away from an icepack.
Is most if the fresh water is stored in the icecaps and iceberg?
Yes, most of the fresh water is usually stored in the iceberg and icecaps.
What percentage of the world's fresh water does an iceberg hold?
80%
How many cubic feet of water to move 50 tons of iceberg?
50 tons of iceberg equals 100,000 lb. It is fresh water, which weighs 62.4 lb/cu ft, so it contains 1603 cu ft of fresh water (imagine a cube, 11'9" on a side), expanded by freezing. Salt water weighs 64 lb/cu ft, so the iceberg displaces 1563 cu ft while in the ocean. How much water to float it depends on the size of the vessel it is floating in, and the kind of water used to float the iceberg. I.e. The size of the vessel, minus 1563 for salt water, or minus 1603 for fresh water, equals the amount to float it. "How [much] ...to move [it]?" has no answer.
How is an iceberg floating in the ocean affected by water pressure and buoyant force?
An iceberg floating in the ocean is affected by the water pressure and buoyant force on the basis of the Archimedes' principle. This dictates that a volume of a liquid must supported by the pressure of a surrounding liquid.Ê
What percent of fresh water is in an iceberg?
Approximately 68.7% of Earth's fresh water is stored in icebergs. This makes icebergs one of the largest sources of fresh water on the planet.
Can an iceberg sink?
no. it melts An iceberg will float as long as it is in water. If you could put an iceberg in a liquid less dense than ice, the iceberg would sink.
What kind of water is used to make an iceberg salt water or fresh water?
Iceberg water is typically freshwater because it comes from glaciers that originated from precipitation. This water freezes into icebergs before breaking off from the glaciers. Although icebergs may contain some salt on their surfaces from contact with seawater, the majority of the iceberg is freshwater.
What is a large mass of ice floating in the sea called?
A large mass of ice floating in the sea is called an iceberg. Icebergs typically originate from glaciers or ice shelves and can vary in size, with the visible portion above water often representing only a small fraction of the total ice mass.
What do you call a floating mass of of fresh water in the atmosphere?
a cloud
What caused the iceberg the Titanic hit to keep floating?
First of all the question is worded horribly the iceberg (solid water) always floats because it is less dense than liquid water. as for the titanic, it sunk
