Does salt decrease the melting point of water?

Yes, sea water can freeze up to - 3 0C.


Processes that increase the density of sea water included evaporation and what?

Water being evaporated, the concentration of salt increase and as a consuquence the density increase.


How does tectonic plates affect sea level change?

Tectonic plates influence sea level change through processes such as continental drift, which can alter the shape and volume of ocean basins. When tectonic activity raises land (orographic uplift), it can lead to a relative decrease in sea level in that area. Conversely, subsidence of land due to tectonic movements can cause local sea levels to rise. Additionally, the creation of mid-ocean ridges can displace water and affect global sea levels.


When the increase in the salinity of seawater result in an increase or decrease in density?

If you compare the density of sea water, and then compared the extremely salty Dead Sea, you will find that the more salt in the water, the higher is the density. Which is why you can float on the Dead Sea while reading a newspaper (which I once saw demonstrated in a documentary). Also, a ship will float lower on a fresh water lake, and float higher on salt water.


When glaciers grow global sea level?

When glaciers grow, they typically store more water as ice, which leads to a decrease in global sea levels. This occurs because the water that would otherwise contribute to sea levels is trapped in the ice. Conversely, when glaciers melt, this process releases stored water back into the oceans, causing sea levels to rise. Therefore, the balance between glacier growth and melting is crucial for determining global sea levels.

How do you turn sea water to water?

Their are two processes, distillation and reverse osmosis.


Processes that increase the density of seawater include evaporation and .?

Processes that increase the density of seawater include evaporation and the freezing of seawater into sea ice. Evaporation causes the water volume to decrease while the salinity stays the same, increasing density. Sea ice formation removes freshwater, leaving behind denser saltwater.


Does salt decrease the melting point of water?

Yes, sea water can freeze up to - 3 0C.


How does sea salt get to you?

Salt is obtained by the evaporation of sea water followed by purification(processes of dissolution/crystallization/recrystallization).


How weather affects evaporation of water from land and sea?

Evaporation increase with the increase of temperature and decrease of pressure..


What is the specialty of the Black Sea?

the deep waters are axonic. it has an average surface temperature of 8 degree C - 14 degree C. it has an average saltinity of 18 - 18.5.................thats all i know !!


An element obtained from sea water?

Sodium is an element that can be obtained from sea water. It is present in the form of sodium chloride, which is commonly known as table salt, and can be extracted through processes like electrolysis.

Water being evaporated, the concentration of salt increase and as a consuquence the density increase.


Does glacial advance decreases or increases sea level?

Glacial advance can decrease sea level because it locks up water in the form of ice on land, reducing the amount of liquid water in the oceans.


How do you convert water psi to water temperature?

Not directly you cant, but sea temperature does decrease with depth, although its not a straight line graph ( though depth : pressure is.)


Is If sea water has salt in it it will freeze at a lower temperature than fresh water is this sentence a hypothesis?

No. A hypothesis would be "As the gradient of salt in the water increases the freezing point would decrease"


If you emptied the sea of wildlife and all other objects by what depth would the water decrease?

haha, good question. I think it would.
