Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Differences in temperature and salinity produce density differences, leading to the thermohaline circulation. These currents flow at slower rates than surface circulation, but hauls great volumes of water. Ocean surface waters undergo freshening in the polar regions because water releases salt when frozen and is, therefore, salt free when it melts. This ocean freshening is being accelerated by climate change.
