I hope you’ve packed some ice skates for your next trip out to sea because the oceans have completely frozen over. What conditions could cause this massive oceanic freeze? How would this impact other parts of the planet? And how could this lead to the mass extinction of life on Earth? What keeps our oceans in liquid state? How does salt lower the water's freezing point?
