If the barrier between saltwater and freshwater is removed, the two bodies will begin to mix, resulting in a process called diffusion. Over time, the salinity gradient will equalize, leading to a uniform salinity level throughout the mix. Eventually, the solution will reach an equilibrium state, where the concentration of salt is evenly distributed, creating brackish water with a salinity level between that of pure freshwater and saltwater.
No. The Great Barrier Reef is a marine biome, located in the Coral Sea, which is an arm of the Pacific Ocean. Freshwater runoff from floods is one of the dangers occasionally faced by the Great Barrier Reef.
yes
No. The snakehead fish is a freshwater fish.
the 3 eyelids work together to create a constant barrier against the saltwater

Australia has two species of crocodiles: Estuarine, or saltwater crocodiles, and freshwater crocodiles. Both species are restricted to Australia's tropical north. The Estuarine crocodile is found across northern Australia, from near Broome in northwest Western Australia, across the Top End of the Northern Territory, to the Gulf country and Cape York of north Queensland. It can be found along beaches, around offshore islands (including those in Torres Strait and in the Great Barrier Reef), and in tidal estuaries and rivers, but it is not restricted to saltwater habitats. It has also been found in freshwater lagoons, rivers, and swamps hundreds of kilometres inland from the coast. The freshwater crocodile is also restricted to northern Australia, where it is found in inland waterways. Although usually a freshwater-dwelling creature, as it name suggests, it can live in the tidal reaches of some rivers. There are no crocodiles in either the Murray River or the Darling River, despite popular myth; nor are they found as far south as Brisbane or the Sunshine Coast.
you destroy it by attacking it and eventually it will break
No, platypuses live in inland freshwater environments in mainland Australia, not in the ocean.

Tampa Bay features a variety of landforms, including estuaries, wetlands, and barrier islands. The bay itself is a large estuarine system that serves as a transition zone between freshwater and saltwater, supporting diverse ecosystems. Notable barrier islands, such as Anna Maria Island and Clearwater Beach, provide sandy shores and are popular tourist destinations. Additionally, the surrounding areas include low-lying coastal plains and mangrove forests, which play a crucial role in the region's ecology.
As an island sinks, the fringing reef gradually becomes a barrier reef. If the island continues to sink, the barrier reef eventually becomes a signature atoll.
Alessandro Volta separated the two metals (copper and zinc) used in his voltaic cell by placing a piece of cardboard or cloth soaked in saltwater between them. This created a barrier that prevented direct contact between the metals while allowing ions to flow through the solution, generating an electric current.
