To be flippant, you would get too much ice in your whisky!
But, in reality, and seriously, you would either die from exposure in the icy Atlantic waters, or be lucky enough to get on a lifeboat and survive.

What ocean will you sail on if you sail from north America to Antarctica?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you sail from North America to Antarctica, you would primarily traverse the South Pacific Ocean. While there are different potential routes depending on your starting point in North America and your destination in Antarctica, most voyages would involve crossing the South Pacific Ocean to reach the southernmost continent.

Depending on the specific route chosen, sailors might also navigate through other bodies of water such as the Southern Ocean or the Drake Passage, which connects the South Pacific Ocean with the Southern Ocean between South America's Cape Horn and the South Shetland Islands of Antarctica.

Overall, the South Pacific Ocean would be a significant portion of the journey when sailing from North America to Antarctica.

Why are sea water salty?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

because the river flowing into it passes through salty rock, so it picks it up and deposits it in the dead sea

Not exactly. The Mediterranean Sea has dried out completely no less than four times. When that happens, it leaves a huge layer of evaporated salt behind. The land on the eastern side of the Mediterranean has also risen (because of geologic forces) and the result today is a lake sitting on the salt deposit. That salt deposit is in a physical depression and has no outlet. It is like a bowl made of salt holding water.

What is the difference between windward and leeward on a boat?

User Avatar

Asked by Milym32696

The terms "windward" and "leeward" refer to the sides of a boat in relation to the direction of the wind. Understanding these terms is essential for navigation and sail handling. Here's the difference:

Windward:

The windward side of a boat is the side from which the wind is blowing.

Characteristics:

When sailing close-hauled or beating (sailing as close to the wind direction as possible), the windward side is the side facing toward the wind.

On the windward side, the sails are filled with wind, generating lift and propelling the boat forward.

The boat may heel (lean) away from the wind due to the force of the wind pushing against the sails.

Typically, the crew's weight is positioned to windward to counteract the heeling force and maintain stability.

Leeward:

The leeward side of a boat is the side opposite to the direction from which the wind is blowing.

Characteristics:

When sailing downwind, the leeward side is the side facing away from the wind.

On the leeward side, the sails are positioned to catch the wind coming from behind, propelling the boat forward.

The boat may heel less on the leeward side compared to the windward side, depending on the wind strength and sail configuration.

The crew's weight may be shifted to leeward to help stabilize the boat and counteract any heeling.

Understanding windward and leeward is crucial for sailors to effectively trim sails, balance the boat, and navigate efficiently, especially when sailing upwind or downwind. Additionally, knowing the windward and leeward sides helps in avoiding collisions, maneuvering in tight spaces, and making strategic decisions while sailing.
