What would happen to a river if a lot of snow did not melt?
The water would freeze, ice would SINK to the bottom. More water would freeze and ice would sink to the bottom again. Eventually the entire lake, river, stream, sea and ocean would be solid ice. All (or virtually all) life would cease in the waters.
Why is the temperature needed to freeze ocean water lower than the temperature needed to freeze a surface of a fresh water lake?
The ocean is larger than a lake. Therefore, being larger it can absorb more heat. That is why a lower temperature is needed to freeze it.
What is the name of the mountain ridge that is on the bottom of the ocean?
The mid-ocean ridge is the mountain ridge that runs along the bottom of the ocean and is formed by plate tectonics.
Why is the temperature needed to freeze ocean water lower than the temperature to freeze the surface of a fresh water lake?
Ocean water has a lower freezing point than fresh water due to the presence of salt, which lowers the freezing point of water. The salt in ocean water lowers the freezing point by making it more difficult for water molecules to form solid ice crystals. This is why ocean water typically needs to reach a lower temperature to freeze compared to fresh water.
Is the prime meridian on the top or bottom of the equator?
It goes from the top of the globe to the bottom from about the Atlantic Ocean.
Why doesn't the bottom of the ocean freeze?
The bottom of the ocean doesn't freeze because water is a good insulator and the Earth's core heat keeps the ocean water from freezing.
Why doesnt Antarctic bottom water freeze?
From its Wikipedia page: "Being the densest water mass of the World Ocean, AABW is found to occupy the depth range below 4000 m of all ocean basins that have a connection to the Southern Ocean at that level." The Southern Ocean freezes at about a depth of eight to 12 feet during the winter months, which is not deep enough to freeze the bottom water.
What will freeze first the ocean or pond?
The ocean, in a pond only the top layer will freeze!
Why would the top of an ocean freeze and not the inside?
The whole ocean would freeze if it was cold enough.
Is the bottom of the ocean is different from land masses because the ocean bottom is perfectly flat?
what is wrong with this sentence "the bottom of the ocean is different from land masses because the ocean bottom is perfectly flat."
Why does the Arctic ocean freeze but the Pacific doesn't?
the Pacific Ocean is warmer.
How did scientists map the bottom of the ocean?
How scientists map the bottom of the ocean
What are slimy deposits at the bottom of the ocean?
The bottom of the ocean that is slimy is called a biogenous bottom. Some scientists refer to this kind of ocean bottom as an ooze. They are the result of a dominance of calcium shells and siliceous shell pieces which dissolve at the bottom of the ocean.
Can a ocean wave freeze instantly in Antarctica?
No.
When was Ocean Bottom Nightmare created?
Ocean Bottom Nightmare was created in 2007.
Echolocation for mapping the bottom of the ocean?
the echolaocation for measurnig the bottom of the ocean is the Doppler effect
What is a flat area on the ocean bottom?
An abyssal plain is a flat area on the ocean bottom
