Ocean Types

Both Kerbin and Laythe have oceans of liquid water. Laythe's oceans appear to be saltier than Kerbins', as it does not freeze at 'normal' freezing temperatures (about 0* Celsius, 32* Fahrenheit). Eve, on the other hand, has oceans of a purple liquid called 'Explodium'. It appears to be rocket fuel.

Biomes

The oceans on the three bodies usually are their own [biome]]. Kerbin's oceans are the 'Water' biome; Laythe's, the
