    The delta-O18 SMOW value of modern seawater is 0 o/oo relative to SMOW. The average value of the polar ice cap is -45 o/oo. At present, the ice cap holds about 2 wt% of the ocean water at present. What would be the sea water value of delta O18 SMOW if there is no polar ice. (melted) Assume that the amount of ice was very large, say 5 wt% of the ocean water because of cold global temperatures. Assume that...

    In Biology class you learn that the salinity of brackish water (water that is saltier than fresh water, but less salty than ocean water) generally has a mean of 20 parts per thousand (ppt). You go to a nature preserve located near the ocean every day at 4:00 p.m. for 35 successive days and measure the salinity of the water in the estuary (place where fresh water and ocean water mix and mingle) at the same location.   At the end...
