When a ship sails from seawater to fresh water, the buoyancy of the ship increases because fresh water is less dense than seawater. This can cause the ship to ride higher in the water. Additionally, there may be a slight increase in the ship's speed due to the lower density of the fresh water offering less resistance to the hull.

What is it called when fresh water meets seawater?
When fresh water meets seawater, it is called a "brackish water" environment. This occurs in estuaries or coastal wetlands where rivers flow into the ocean.
Why sea water has a higher hydrometer reading than that of freshwater?
Seawater dissolves more than fresh water because of the salinity in the water.
What are four ways in which fresh water is naturally added to seawater decreasing its salinity?
Melting of polar ice caps and glaciers adds fresh water to seawater. Precipitation in the form of rain or snow also contributes fresh water. Rivers and streams flowing into the ocean bring in fresh water. Groundwater seepage into the ocean is another natural source of fresh water.
Can you distill seawater?
Yes, seawater can be distilled to remove the salt and other impurities, leaving behind fresh water. This process involves heating the seawater to create steam, which is then collected and condensed back into liquid form, producing clean water.
What is fresh water that mixes with ocean water called?
Water that is a mixture of fresh water and salt water is called brackish water.
Why is it easier to swim in seawater then it is to swim in fresh water?
probally fresh because no salt in mouth or eyes addition: it is easier to float/swim in seawater since seawater is denser than fresh water.
Why does seawater have a greater buoyant force than fresh water?
Seawater has a greater buoyant force than fresh water because seawater has a higher density than fresh water therefore the buoyancy is higher. *Improved* This happens because when water mixes with the salt in sea water, the density changes to the average density which is around 1.55 g/mL (Average density is the density of different materials put to together )
How do you separate fresh water from seawater?
by evaporation
Is the Gulf of Oman fresh water?
No, it is seawater.
What is the concentration of salt in seawater and the specific heat capacities of sea water and fresh water?
the seawater smells
What is it called when fresh water meets seawater?
When fresh water meets seawater, it is called a "brackish water" environment. This occurs in estuaries or coastal wetlands where rivers flow into the ocean.
Does seawater and freashwater change the way a ship sails?
Yes, but not much. A ship is more buoyant in seawater, and thus less of the hull is in the water (thus less resistance).
Which do you think is denser seawater or fresh water?
Seawater because it contains salt which makes the water more dense than water which does not contain salt.
Why sea water has a higher hydrometer reading than that of freshwater?
Seawater dissolves more than fresh water because of the salinity in the water.
Difference between seawater and fresh water?
Seawater has a higher salinity level due to dissolved salts, whereas fresh water has a very low salinity level. Seawater is found in oceans and contains various minerals, while fresh water is found in rivers, lakes, and underground reservoirs. Seawater is not suitable for drinking or agriculture without desalination, while fresh water is typically safe for consumption and irrigation needs.
Can guppy live in seawater?
no.they must have fresh water to live.
How does freezing desalination work to produce fresh water from seawater?
Freezing desalination works by freezing seawater and separating the ice crystals from the remaining saltwater. The ice crystals are then melted to produce fresh water, while the saltwater is left behind. This process helps remove salt and impurities from seawater, resulting in fresh water that is safe for consumption.
