Examples of brine in the following topics:
-
- A cold seep (sometimes called a cold vent) is an area of the ocean floor where hydrogen sulfide, methane, and other hydrocarbon-rich fluid seepage occurs, often in the form of a brine pool.
- Cold seeps can also be distinguished in detail, as follows: oil/gas seeps, gas seeps, methane seeps, gas hydrate seeps, brine seeps, are forming brine pools, pockmarks and mud volcanos.
-
- Historically, the zero point of the Fahrenheit scale was determined by evaluating a thermometer placed in brine.
-
- Temperatures as low as −15°C are found in pockets of very salty water (brine) surrounded by sea ice.
-
- Brine pools are another seabed feature, usually connected to cold seeps.
-
- One example is Chromohalobacter beijerinckii, found in salted beans preserved in brine and in salted herring.
-
- Now it is well known that the freezing point of a solvent is lowered by a dissolved solute, e.g. brine compared with water.
-
- This, combined with the quality and accuracy of Fahrenheit's work, led to much greater sensitivity, and his thermometer was standardized against a brine solution and universally adopted, with the Fahrenheit scale being named in his honor.
