Temperature and salinity both influence the movement of water in deep-ocean currents. which words describe these currents? a. warm and low salinity b. warm and high salinity c. cold and low salinity d. cold and high salinity

Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When water or any other fluid contains high concentration of dissolved salts etc, it is known as salinity.

As the temperature rises, the water molecules start to expand. This expansion creates extra space where salt and other molecules get deposited. Hence, as compared to cold water, the warmer water can hold more salt or molecules.

Thus, the warmer the water, the higher will be its salinity.

Therefore, option (b) that is warm and high salinity is the correct answer.

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
