Temperature and salinity both influence the movement of water in deep-ocean currents. What type of pattern do deep-ocean currents show? A. warm and low salinity B. warm and high salinity C. cold and low salinity D. cold and high salinity

OpenStudy (micahm):

Differences in the temperature and salinity and the resulting differences in density ... For example, the deepest current, the Antarctic Bottom Water, is denser than the ... Both currents spread out across the ocean floor as they flow toward each other. ... movement and creates a disturbance..... and then you have a deep ocean .

Is it a bad thing that I am confused because of your answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And the answer for the question "What mechanism is responsible for the movement of water in this image?" isn't A, its C... also to dumb down the long answer for "Temperature and salinity both influence the movement of water in deep-ocean currents. What type of pattern do deep-ocean currents show?" its D... Your welcome.
