When sea ice forms in the ocean, the salinity of the surrounding ocean water

1 answer:

6 0

This process is known as thermohaline circulation. In the Earth's polar regions ocean water gets very cold, forming sea ice. As a consequence the surrounding seawater gets saltier, because when sea ice forms, the salt is left behind. As the seawater gets saltier, its density increases, and it starts to sink.

If we were to discover that life exists elsewhere in the galaxy, would it be realistically possible to travel to their home plan

Rom4ik [11]

I think yes because that’s kinda of like when we travel to a different state after that we go back to our home state and also you can reference to astronauts when there done traveling from space they come back to earth. So I think yes because we can travel to different galaxies/ planets but we can still come back to our home planet after visiting that galaxy/ planet. Hope this helped!
