Can you explain why water don't mix?

[Eren]

Hello,

 

My question is why this is happening?

There is a comment saying waters from Alaska's ices makes is density different and doesn't let water mix. But Alaska really far away to Mediterranean sea. And also is there a way that Muslims figured it out in 600?

Why is what happening? Your question is not very clear.

 

Water from melting ice will be (nearly) salt free and therefore less dense. It will therefore tend to float on top of the existing salty water. They will eventually mix, though, as winds and currents stir the water.

 

 

 

And also is there a way that Muslims figured it out in 600?

 

Seems unlikely as they didn't even know Alaska existed.

The idea, often quoted by Muslims, that the Quran is scientifically accurate uses the assertion by the Quran that sweet and salty water do not mix as proof but it is trivially falsified. They do mix, winds, and currents mix them thoroughly. Alaska is no different, the freshwater locked up in ice is less dense and floats on top of the sea water for a very short time before becoming mixed. This so-called scientific fact asserted by Muslims is in fact blatantly dishonest...

Thank you for answering but I'm wondering how Alaska's melted ice came to the mediterrian sea. Water can travel around the world but doesn't it gets salty before reaching? It's a long way from Alaska to Mediterranean.

It's not happening in the Mediterranean

Yes, by the time water from Alaska reached the Mediterranean it would be indistinguishable from any other seawater.

Why do you consider alaskan water as a different entity than mediterranean water???
