Which of these statements best explains why water flows from point A to point B? The salinity at B is more than at A. The wind velocity at B is more than at A. The temperature at A is more than at B. The water density at A is more than at B

What is your guess?

OpenStudy (watermelon14):

i don't know maybe A or D..

I'm not sure which one is correct :I

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I would say that B makes the most sense, if you imagine the passat thread.

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

The water temperature in A is more then at B

My answer makes just sense for horizontal streams :/ So the density of the water influenced by the salt might bring a conclusion for the vertical stream.

Thank you both of u! I don't know whether I should pick B or C though

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

oops.....I think it is D. Read this... http://science.howstuffworks.com/environmental/earth/oceanography/ocean-current3.htm
