Yes. It is more dense and colder -- the most dense and most cold of any ocean water on Earth.

Does the north Atlantic deep water flow on top of Antarctic bottom water?
Yes, Atlantic deep water is warmer and less dense than the Antarctic bottom water, so it flows on top.
Why is it that you float on water?
Because water is more dense then our bodies so when things are more dense they sink to the bottom and when they are less dense they float to the top
Is ice water more dense than liquid water?
Water is most dense at +4 Celsius. This is why lakes do not freeze to the bottom at winter. Solid ice is less dense than water.
When water of different densities meet what happen?
Water that is more dense will flow beneath the water that is less dense
Where is the ocean most dense?
The ocean is most dense towards the bottom of the sea. As the water in the ocean gets colder it gets more dense.
Where does the warmer water reach the cold water in Antarctica?
The warmer ocean water that flows south from the tropics mostly affects the ice shelves around the Antarctic Peninsula. The Antarctic Bottom Water -- a natural phenomenon produced by the extreme cold -- is the most dense of all ocean waters, given its high saline content: 34.65%. Because warm water weighs less than cold water, the surface waters flow over the colder, more dense water. Wherever the warmer water flows under the ice shelves, these shelves are beginning to disintegrate from below.
Does ice sink to the bottom of water because it is more dense than water?
First of all... ice floats in water.
Why do rocks float to the bottom not the top?
Because rocks are more dense than water
Where does cold dense water go?
It's somewhere in the textbook...
In geyser system why cold water enter the boiler from bottom?
First of all, there are two principles:1.hot water is less dense and rises up2.cold water is more dense and goes down.so when water becomes hot, it rises up and replaces the cold water which comes down. That is why cold water enters from the bottom.
Why are salt layers not formed at the bottom of the sea?
because it is less dense than the sea water
Can you reverse sand and water?
no. The water is the solvent and the sand is the insoluble material. When you have a insoluble material it sits at the bottom. Sand is more dense then water.
