What happens to the salt in the ocean when water evaporates?
When water evaporates from the ocean, the salt remains behind. This process leaves the salt concentration in the ocean water higher than before evaporation.
Why does a perspex block sink in fresh water but floats in salty water?
A perspex block sinks in fresh water because it is denser than the water. In salty water, the added salt increases the water's density, causing the perspex block to float. This is due to the principle of buoyancy, where an object will float if it is less dense than the fluid it is in.
Why should an object sink in salty water and float in fresh water?
The only possible reason for that would be that after the object floated for a while,the salt ate a hole in it, the water poured into it, and it stopped floating.If the object doesn't corrode, dissolve, or get water-logged, then it might float insalty water and sink in fresh water, because salty water is always more densethan either fresh or distilled water.
Why is it easier to float in the ocean than fresh water?
It is easier to float in the ocean than in fresh water because ocean water is denser due to the presence of salt. The salt increases the density of the water, making it easier for objects, like our bodies, to float. In fresh water, there is less salt, so the density is lower, making it harder to float.
Why a perspex block sinks in fresh water but will float in very salty water?
The difference in density between the perspex block and the water is what determines whether it sinks or floats. In fresh water, the density of the perspex block is greater than that of the water, causing it to sink. However, in very salty water, the increased density of the water allows the less dense perspex block to float.
Is water that evaporates from the ocean salty or fresh?
It's fresh water. The salt remains in the oceans as the water evaporates.
Why does salty water evaporates faster than fresh water?
Fresh water is evaporated faster.
How much fresh water is in the ocean?
The Pacific Ocean is salty, there is no fresh water in it.
True or false places where rivers pour fresh water into the ocean have low salinity?
Salinity is a measure of how salty water is. Ocean water is more salty in some places than in others. The answer is yes, places where rivers pour fresh water into the ocean have low salinity because fresh water is normally cold and in warm areas, ocean water evaporates quicker. When this happens, salt is left behind and the ocean water has a higher salinity.
Why does the ocean stay salty if fresh water is continuously being added?
Because water evaporates leaving the salt behind and re balancing the ratio between salt and water.
Why aren't raindrops salty?
because the sun ONLY evaporates FRESH water so rain drops are NOT salty.
Are rivers and streams fresh or salty?
river is fresh water because it has no salt in it. ocean is salt water because of its salt content. hope this helps
How much of the water that evaporates from a salty ocean is freshwater?
Vapors are contain practically pure water.
Water evaporates from the sea which has salty water but then how does that water come down as fresh rainwater?
Only water is evaporated, not salt.
Why does freezing ocean water create fresh water?
Evaporates as the water is frozen.
What provides heat that evaporates fresh water from the ocean?
The sun
Why is the lake salty?
The short answer is it's the salt. But I think what you're really asking is how did it get so salty. As fresh water flows through the continents, it picks up salt from the minerals. Then that is dumped into the ocean basin when the water gets to the sea. The water evaporates and returns as rain water, but the minerals stay behind. So after a long time, you get an accumulation of salt in the ocean.
