This is a question which cannot be answered as the freezing point of anything depends on many characteristics, one of which for water is depth. As we know certain regions of the ocean are exceedingly deep while other regions are much less deep. The key to this is that water is at its most dense when at 4 degrees Celsius. That is to say that water at that temperature will be at the bottom of the lake/ocean. For the water to freeze the entire depth of the body of water must be at 4 degrees, then the top layer may cool down further and turn into a layer of ice. This can take a very very long time to occur, but indeed does in regions near the north and south poles. Constant temperatures at about -20 or -30 degrees can turn regions of the ocean into ice. Such cold temperatures are required because of the high salt concentration in the ocean as well as to get around this depth issue.
What else can I help you with?
Does the presence of salt helps prevent oceans from freezing?
Salt lowers the freezing point temperature, it does not completely prevent freezing. Otherwise we would not have sea ice.
The freezing point of a substance is?
The freezing point of water in Celsius is 0 degrees Celsius. The freezing point in Fahrenheit is 32 degrees Fahrenheit.
What is the effect of adding p nitrotoluene to the freezing point of naphthalene?
Adding p-nitrotoluene to naphthalene will lower the freezing point of the mixture. This is due to the phenomenon of freezing point depression, where the presence of a solute lowers the freezing point of the solvent. The greater the concentration of the solute in the solvent, the lower the freezing point will be.
What is the freezing point of cinnamon?
Cinammon is a complex mixture and haven't a freezing point.
Are the melting point of solid and freezing point of liquid of a substance different?
yes the melting point of solid and freezing point of liquid of a substance is differ but in the case of water the melting and freezing point is same.
Does the presence of salt helps prevent oceans from freezing?
Salt lowers the freezing point temperature, it does not completely prevent freezing. Otherwise we would not have sea ice.
What is the antonym for boiling point?
Freezing point.
What is the freezing point of lithinum?
what is the freezing point of lithuim?
How would lakes oceans and the atmosphere be affected if water had different freezing and boiling points?
Lakes and oceans would be effected because if the boiling point changed, the water could evaporate...not sure about the atmosphere. Sorry!
The freezing point is the same as what other point?
The freezing point is the same as the melting point.

Is -1.00degree Celsius at freezing point?
0oC is freezing point
Freezing point is the point at which a liquid turns into a solid What effect can change the freezing point?
Changing the pressure can affect the freezing point of a substance. Generally, an increase in pressure will lower the freezing point, while a decrease in pressure will raise the freezing point. The presence of solutes or impurities in the liquid can also change the freezing point.
What is germanium's freezing point?
Germanium has a freezing point of 938.25 degrees Celsius.
Would vinegar affect the freezing point?
Vinegar will not affect the freezing point of vinegar.
