When the North Atlantic Ocean meets the Antarctic bottom water Hurricanes form(:
What else can I help you with?
What happens when the North Atlantic deep water meets the Antarctic bottom water?
a hurricane would form
Why does the North Atlantic deep water and the Antarctic intermediate water over ride the Antarctic bottom water?
Antarctic bottom water is colder than either the Antarctic intermediate water or the Atlantic deep water. The North Atlantic bottom water doesn't flow far enough south to intermix with the Southern Ocean.
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.
The arrangement of water masses in the southern Atlantic Ocean from the surface to the bottom is?
The arrangement of water masses in the southern Atlantic Ocean from the surface to the bottom is Antarctic Intermediate water, north Atlantic deep water, and the Antarctic bottom water. The location where water flow uninterrupted between the Pacific, the Atlantic, and the Indian Oceans is in the southern ocean.
Why does North Atlantic Deep Water and Antarctic Intermediate Water overide Antarctic Bottom Water?
Antarctic bottom water of the Southern Ocean is the coldest water on earth. Cold water is always found at the bottom of any combination of water temperatures.
Name three density currents that form in the polar regions?
The Antarctic Bottom Water, North Atlantic Deep Water, and Antarctic Intermediate Water are three density currents that form in polar regions.
Which direction will the Antarctic Bottom Water travel?
Antarctic Bottom Water can only travel north.
The deepest water in the deep ocean is Antarctic Intermediate Water?
No, it's the Antarctic Bottom Water
The most distinctive of all deep water masses is?
Antarctic Bottom Water
What is created in the Weddell sea of Antarctica?
You may be thinking of Antarctic Bottom Water.
Is Antarctic Bottom Water more dense than Antarctic Intermediate Water?
Yes. It is more dense and colder -- the most dense and most cold of any ocean water on Earth.
What causes deep ocean currents currents?
The relationship between the density of ocean water and the formation of deep currents. Differences in the temperature and salinity and the resulting differences in density cause variations in the movement of deep currents. For example, the deepest current, the Antarctic Bottom Water, is denser than the North Atlantic Deep Water. Both currents spread out across the ocean floor as they flow toward each other. Because less dense water always flows on top of denser water, the North Atlantic Deep Water flows on top of the Antarctic Bottom Water when the currents meet. Any other suggestions for questions?
