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.

solute : a solute is a substance that is dissolved in another substance is known as a solvent. it is mixed with a special mixture know as homogeneous mixture.

solvent: a solvent is a substance that dissolved a solute, which results in a solution is known as solvent.
