Of the 2% fresh water in our world, around 90% is frozen but I guess more and more are in liquid form now due to global warming
Salt lowers the melting or freezing point of water. The effect is termed 'freezing point depression'. Therefore frozen salt water melts faster and remain melted for long.
If the salt is still in the water it will freeze inside the water so its technically frozen
A possible hypothesis could be: "If salt is mixed with water and the solution is frozen, then the salt will not separate from the water, as both salt and water will freeze together into a solid."
Water with a salt concentration of about 3.5% is typically found in seawater.
well for something to freeze it has to be 0 degrees or lower which is what ice is, frozen water. so the water has to be 1 degree or more to NOT freeze so the ice is colder than salt watercoz salt water is not frozen... does t6hat make sense? Actually, salt water CAN be colder than ice because the salt lowers the freezing point of the water.
The freezing point of salted water is lower compared with the freezing point of pure water. So when melting frozen salt water is colder.

no, the salt wont go away it will just be inside the frozen water i don't think salt freezes though.
Technically, none of it. The hydrosphere is the liquid water on Earth. The Cryosphere is the ice. However, only 3 percent of the water on Earth is fresh, 97 % is salt water. Of that 3 % frsh water, 85 % is frozen so 85% of 3% of the water is frozen. So, 2.55% of Earths water is frozen.
100%
no
No, not from the frozen state. If a saline solution (dissolved salt in water) is gently heated, the water will evaporate, leaving salt crystals behind. If the water vapour is captured and condensed, the result is drinking water.
no
The density of saline water is greater than the density of pure water.
Approximately 97.5 percent of all the water on Earth is salt water. Of the remaining 2.5 percent that is fresh, about 70 percent exists as ice.
The pie graph is showing all the water on earth. 97% represents the amount that is salt water. 2% represents frozen fresh water. 1% represents liquid fresh water.
97% of water on the Earth is salt water, and only 3% is fresh water of which slightly over two thirds is frozen in glaciers and polar ice caps.
