Question

what happens to ocean water as it moves from antarctica to the equator?
it transfers thermal energy to deeper layers of the ocean
. it becomes less dense and rises to the surface.
it transfers thermal energy to the area, warming the equatorial waters.
it becomes more dense and sinks to the ocean bottom. n bottom.

Answer 1

The correct answer is this: IT BECOMES LESS DENSE AND RISES TO THE SURFACE.
The water at the earth's poles are cold and dense. This cold water sink and move along the ocean floor in a current. As it moves towards the equator, the cold water from the poles push up the warmer water, this becomes less dense and rise to the surface.
