For the most part it does. There is some salt (brine) that is caught in the water when it freezes, but as the ice ages the brine will drain out.
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.
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 salinity than fresh water.
Salt waters of the Atlantic
They do. It just a slow process.

... it melts... and becomes part of the ocean.
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.
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.
Warming temperatures and ocean currents melts the Antarctic.
the reason salt water freezes is because of the amount of salt in the water
they can if the ocean is fresh water

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.
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.
Fresh water freezes at 0oC = 273 K Salt water freezes at about -4oC = 269K NB THere is a large body of chemistry dealing with cryoscopic constants; that is the depression of freezing point, between the pure substance and its dissolution . Similarly, there are also Ebullioscopic Constants dealing the with rising of boiling points between pure substances and solutions.
The Pacific Ocean is salty, there is no fresh water in it.
