The water mass located on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean would be expected to have _________density and __________ temperature.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The water mass located on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean would be expected to have a higher density than surface water due to factors such as decreased temperature and increased salinity from evaporation and mixing with other water masses. Additionally, the water mass would be expected to have a lower temperature due to its location in deeper and darker regions of the ocean where sunlight cannot reach, and where cold water from the poles can sink to form deep currents. Therefore, Choice C, higher density and lower temperature, is the most appropriate answer.
