Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Deep water in the ocean primarily forms in polar regions (southern subpolar latitudes, northern subpolar latitudes, Arctic convergence, and Antarctic convergence) due to the cooling and sinking of dense, salty water. Subtropical convergences, however, are not known for deep water formation as they are characterized by warmer waters and less dense conditions.
