You are presented with the quiz "Water in the Pacific Ocean freezes at a lower temperature than water in Lake Shasta. What is also true about these two bodies of water?" 

But you don't know the answer, so you turn to your teacher to ask for hints. He says that "adding salt to a liquid decreases the melting point of that liquid" and "salt adds density to the water so objects float". 

So, what's the best answer to the question?


 

   Objects float more easily in the Pacific ocean than in Lake Shasta
