← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when increased dissolved solids lower seawater's freezing point?
A)Latent heat absorption decreases significantly
B)Ice crystal formation initiation slows✓
C)Seabed methane hydrates destabilize rapidly
D)Thermocline layer mixing rate increases
💡 Explanation
Slower ice formation results because freezing point depression increases the energy required for solidification through colligative properties, rather than directly affecting heat absorption. Therefore, ice formation slows, rather than affecting thermal destabilization or mixing.
