The saltwater will play only a small role in the decay of the Titanic wreck. Rusticles- the formations left behind as bacteria eat away at the ship's hull- are engulfing and destroying the wreck. The bacteria thrives on the iron in the steel plating, and is gradually weakening the hull. Titanic will not dissolve, but rather collapse from the immense strain of its own decks.

How do freshwater and saltwater compare in terms of their dissolved solids?

Freshwater typically has lower levels of dissolved solids compared to saltwater. Saltwater contains higher concentrations of salt (sodium chloride) and other dissolved minerals, making it more saline. This difference in dissolved solids affects the density and freezing point of the water.


Why is Dissolved Oxygen level lower in saltwater than in freshwater given the same temperature?

Dissolved oxygen levels are lower in saltwater due to the higher salinity, which decreases the solubility of oxygen. Additionally, the solubility of gases decreases as water temperature increases, which can further reduce dissolved oxygen levels in saltwater compared to freshwater.
