Question

What directly influences deepwater currents? temperature and pressure salinity and wind temperature and salinity wind and pressure

Answer 1

Answer;

Temperature and salinity

Explanation;

• Differences in the density of water can cause currents to form and move.
• Density is affected by temperature and salinity. Cold water or water with dissolved salts (higher salinity) is denser than warm water or water without dissolved salts.
• The different densities cause the water to move, forming a density current. In the oceans, the deep,bottom currents are colder and saltier than the surface currents.
