Is an ice caps water fresh water or salt water?
Ice caps are made of fresh water. When this ice melts into the ocean, it contributes to the salinity of the water in that area.
Is the Delaware Water Gap National park salt or fresh water?
The Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area is a fresh water area. It is located along the Delaware River, which is a freshwater river that runs through several states in the northeastern United States.
What is an area of water where there is both salt and fresh water?
An area of water where salt and fresh water mix is called an estuary. Estuaries occur where a river meets the sea, creating a unique ecosystem with varying salinity levels that support a diverse range of plant and animal species.
How is ocean water different from fresh water?
Ocean water has a higher salinity level due to the presence of dissolved salts, while fresh water has a lower salinity level. Ocean water is also denser and can support different types of marine life compared to fresh water ecosystems. Additionally, ocean water covers a much larger percentage of the Earth's surface compared to fresh water.
Why does water move into the amoeba living in fresh water?
When single cell freshwater organism is transferred in salt water it will shrink. For e.x. As in case of amoeba if fresh water amoeba is kept in salt water it contractile vacuole will disappear and this phenomena is called osmoregulation.
Which Canadian province contains the greatest area of fresh water?
Quebec
Where does a river and ocean met and contains a mixture of of freshwater and saltwater?
This area of water is known as an estuary.
What is a wetland area with brackish water?
well a wetland area is obv an area by water, and brackish water is a mixture of salt and fresh water which isn't always the cleanest and can create bacteria. Brackish water can be in a marsh or a swamp
What are natural attributes?
Cold, icebound land. The entire area is made of ice. It contains 90% of the worlds ice, and 70% of the world's fresh water
What continent has more water?
Antarctica has the most water by mass, as it contains about 61% of all fresh water on Earth in the form of ice. If considering surface area, Asia has the highest total area covered by water due to its extensive coastlines and numerous inland bodies of water.
What happens when fresh water is added to salt water?
When fresh water is added to salt water, the two types of water will initially form distinct layers due to differences in density. Over time, through a process called mixing and diffusion, the fresh water and salt water will blend together, creating a more uniform salt concentration throughout the mixture.
What the area where a river meets an ocean and contains a mixture of freshwater and saltwater?
an estuary
What are antarctica natural attributes?
Cold, icebound land. The entire area is made of ice. It contains 90% of the worlds ice, and 70% of the world's fresh water
The area where a river meets an ocean and contains a mixture of fresh water and salt water?
Short answer:When fresh water meets salt water and they mix, the result is brackish water. (See related questions.)An estuary may be formed when this occurs at the mouth of a river. (See related link.)More:An estuary is a partially enclosed area where a fresh water source such as a river flows into a salt water body such as a sea or ocean. The area is termed an estuary if both ocean and salt water influxes substantially determine the nature of the body of water, hence it would normally be partially enclosed and retaining a significant portion of fresh water influx that is not immediately diluted into the seawater.Estuaries are often both interesting biological systems and interesting geological formations.Note: For the more general question of where fresh and salt water meet, see related questions.Note: If one is interested in the halocline, which is a strong vertical gradient of salt concentration form sometimes at the interface of fresh water and salt water, then that is a different question.
Is an ice caps water fresh water or salt water?
Ice caps are made of fresh water. When this ice melts into the ocean, it contributes to the salinity of the water in that area.
What are woodlands?
A woodland is an area of trees that usually contains a mixture of species, with mature and young trees.
What area where fresh water and salty water constanly mix?
The golf of Mexico
