Some of the salt would settle out. When the water was heated, it was able to absorb more salt than usual. This is known as super saturation. When the water is frozen it cannot hold as much salt, so some of it has to come out.
<span>The question is asking us "Which of the following would be a result of increased solar activity?"
The Sun is extremely hot, and when it is warm on Earth, the heat has as it source in the Sun. Therefore, an increased solar activity would mean increased temperature on Earth - longer summers and shorter winters, and warmer sea temperatures. The best answer is :
B. Warmer-than-normal sea surface temperatures </span>
It is because in that time science was not established. This is, the experimentation to test hypotheses, which is a fundamental part of the scientific method, was not applied.
Atoms can not be seen, then they could only reflect or philosophize on this matter. This method is not able to give good answers to so complicated scientific matters.
The advantage of steam distillation over simple distillation is that the lower boiling point reduces decomposition of temperature -sensitive compounds.
