Question

The Arctic Ocean contains a lot of freshwater ice in the form of icebergs. What can you conclude about the salinity of water in the Arctic Ocean?

a The salinity will be higher than in an ocean with no freshwater ice in the form of icebergs.

b The salinity will be lower than in an ocean with no freshwater ice in the form of icebergs.

c The salinity will be the same as in an ocean with no freshwater ice in the form of icebergs.

d The salinity will sometimes be higher and sometimes be lower than in an ocean with no freshwater ice in the form of icebergs.

Answer 1

I think the best answer is:
The salinity will sometimes be higher and sometimes be lower than in an ocean with no freshwater ice in the form of icebergs.

But I'm only 80% sure...my reasoning is:
1) When it gets warmer each year some of the freshwater ice will melt and reduce the salinity of the surrounding ocean.
2) When it gets colder some of the freshwater will freeze back into ice increasing the surrounding ocean's salinity (to that higher of an ocean with no freshwater ice).

Answer 2

i got that wrong last time

Answer 3

I was thinking of A as well... Hmm you are right about your reasoning though

Answer 4

I think D is what I meant lol whoops

Answer 5

ty and i think that is the answer

Answer 6

i dont know i dont want to get this answer wrong again :

Answer 7

It depends on temperature I would definitely agree.... Though when icebergs do melt many times it does higher the salt content... The icebergs changing form alter and mix the water as well... So yes I would have to say either way... But ugh hmm

Answer 8

trust me ill tell u wat the answer is i promiss

Answer 9

its wrong because i searched it up on google its something else :?

Answer 10

i had the same qustine on my test

Answer 11

plus dont trust wedsites

Answer 12

look ill get someone

Answer 13

Icebergs are formed from fresh water not salt water for they come from land not the sea... Correct?

Answer 14

well they are formed when ice meets fresh water

Answer 15

The content of salt in an iceberg is quite low correct?

Answer 16

:( its not D

Answer 17

Is it A?

Answer 18

Or B or C? haha obviously one of them

Answer 19

idk which one to pick :((((

Answer 20

ok ima pick B i hope i get it right

Answer 21

B?

Answer 22

The icebergs don't pick up a lot of salt but if there is enough it would pick up more than in an ocean with none.. Maybe... Sorry I am just not sure

Answer 23

or should i pick c?

Answer 24

C I would pick C... Icebergs do not collect salt for they are salt water? I don't know ugh sorry

Answer 25

Go with C... Hopefully that right

Answer 26

i got it wrong its not c or d

Answer 27

i got a 24/25

Answer 28

What is it? Sorry... I had no idea the answer haha we went to every single answer
