Answer: No

Explanation:

No

This is because ocean water contain more salt and by drinking a water with too much salt in a desert you will get severely dehydrated.

Dehydration occurs because a salty water will be hypertonic to your body cells. Hypertonic solution contain more solute relative to that in the cell. When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution it will lose water to its environment by osmosis. This will cause the cells to shrink and may die of dehydration.

When one location on Earth has 14 hours of daylight, is the rest of the world having 14 hours of daylight as well?
Aleonysh [2.5K]
No. The amount of daylight each location receives everyday depends on the latitude of the location. It also depends on how the earth orbits the sun. As the orientation changes throughout the year, the sunlight on earth’s surface for the given location will also change.
