Two types of water currents are

• local and global
• sea and land
• surface and deep

Deep-ocean currents are driven by

• differences in soil

• differences in the water’s density (temperature and salinity)

• differences in nutrients

• None of the Above

NGSS.MS-ESS2-6

Cold ocean currents are most likely to be located at deeper ocean depths than warm water currents because

• A.Winds push the cold water down.
• Ocean tides force cold water downward
• A.Cold water is more dense and sinks
• A.Cold water has less salt to help it freeze and sink.
