Question
multiple - choice question
does this happen in salt water bodies of water too, like the ocean? explain
no, because the ocean is to deep to freeze.
no, because the salt raises the freezing point of the water, and the motion of the ocean prevents this from happening.
Salt lowers the freezing - point of water. Also, the constant motion in the ocean (waves, currents etc.) hinders the formation of a solid - frozen mass. The first option about depth is not the main reason as depth alone does not prevent freezing.

None of the above options are entirely correct. The correct reason is that salt lowers the freezing - point of water and the motion of the ocean disrupts the formation of ice.
