Where does the lower salinity water rest with the higher salinity dense water?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. Above.
In oceanography, differences in density usually cause lower salinity water to lie on top of greater salinity dense water. Because fresher water is less thick than saltier water, a phenomenon called stratification takes place. water currents and ecosystem dynamics are influenced by stratification, which keeps different strata of the water intact.
