Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

For every liter of water that sinks from the surface into the deep ocean, a liter of deep water must return to the surface somewhere else. However, it is difficult to identify specifically where this vertical flow to the surface is occurring. It is generally believed that it occurs as a gradual, uniform upwelling throughout the ocean basins and that it may be somewhat greater in low-latitude regions, where surface temperatures are higher. Alternatively, scientific studies on turbulent mixing rates between deep-ocean and surface waters in the Southern Ocean suggest that deep water traveling across rugged bottom topography is a major factor in producing the upwelling that returns deep water toward the surface.
