What temperature does ocean water freeze?
Ocean water freezes just like freshwater, but at lower temperatures. Fresh water freezes at 32 degrees Fahrenheit but seawater freezes at about 28.4 degrees Fahrenheit, because of the salt in it.
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.
Ocean water has a higher what than fresh water?
Ocean water has a higher salinity than fresh water.
Is the indian ocean fresh or salt water?
Salt waters of the Atlantic
Salt melts ice so why doesn't the icebergs melt in the ocean?
They do. It just a slow process.

What happens when the top of the iceberg melts in a salty ocean?
... it melts... and becomes part of the ocean.
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.
How can viscosity affect man?
If your talking about the ocean viscosity, then it can affect man a great deal. The more ice that melts, the more freshwater is released back into the oceans. Salt water is more dense than fresh water which creates changes in ocean currents and its behavior, as well as the creatures that live in it, many of which humans rely on for survival. Weather is also affected by ocean currents. Also many people ask if the ice that melts is just regular salt water which in turn would not affect the density of the ocean water. But when water freezes, ice's crystalline structure pushes impurities out.
What melts the Antarctic?
Warming temperatures and ocean currents melts the Antarctic.
Why is that ocean water freezes?
the reason salt water freezes is because of the amount of salt in the water
How does a beluga whale change with the seasons?
Beluga whales inhabit the Arctic Ocean and the subarctic regions. Belugas can be found in areas of Russia, Canada, Norway, Greenland and Alaska. The whales follow the ice pack as it melts and freezes with the seasons.
Does hail fall in the ocean?
Hail can form in clouds over the ocean, but it typically melts before reaching the surface due to the warmer ocean temperatures. If hail does fall into the ocean, it quickly melts and blends with the water.
What part of the ocean spreads when old crust melts?
mid-ocean ridge
Can ocean plants survive on fresh water?
they can if the ocean is fresh water
Which type of water freezes first fresh or salt water?
Fresh water freezes first because it has a lower freezing point compared to salt water. The presence of salt in water lowers its freezing point, which means salt water needs to be colder than fresh water to freeze.
How much fresh water is in the ocean?
The Pacific Ocean is salty, there is no fresh water in it.
