Answer 1

HEY MATE,
Here is your answer
_______________________________

• Saltwater and Freshwater doesn't mix as Saltwater is more denser than Freshwater (as it contains many salts) so it sinks and Freshwater being light floats above it.

Answer 2

When fresh water and saltwater meet in an estuary, they do not always mix very readily. Because fresh water flowing into the estuary is less salty and less dense than water from the ocean, it often floats on top of the heavier seawater.
