In this lesson we'll learn what density means and see what happens when freshwater mixes with saltwater in an estuary.
LET'S OBSERVE!
Let's see what happens in an estuary when freshwater from a river mixes with saltwater from the ocean. This mixture of saltwater and freshwater is called brackish water. What do you think will happen when they all mix? Watch the video to find out.
