Q:Q: What is the name for the sinking of the dense, salty seawater in cold climates? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Water becomes more dense when it is colder and when it has more salt. In the North Atlantic Ocean, cold winds chill the water at the surface. Sea ice grows in this cold water, but ice is created from fresh water. The salt is left behind in the seawater. This cold, salty water is very dense, so it sinks to the bottom of the North Atlantic. Downwelling can take place in other places where surface water becomes very dense (see Figure below ). Choices: - cyclones - jet stream - tidal activity - downwelling A:
A:
