In the Atlantic, North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) sinks near Greenland and heads south along the ocean bottom. Antarctic Bottom Water (ABW) sinks off Antarctica and moves north along the ocean bottom. What happens when they meet?
 
  a) NADW stays on the bottom and ABW overrides it.
  b) ABW stays on the bottom and NADW overrides it.
  c) ABW and NADW mix to form ocean common water (OCW).
  d) The two water masses collide, causing them to turn upward and rise to the surface.
  e) Because of the Coriolis Effect, one goes left and the other goes right, so they never meet.

Question 2

What is the main cause of surface water sinking to cause the deep, thermohaline ocean currents?
 
  a) Density increase caused by increased wind currents
  b) Density increase caused by cold in polar regions and increased salinity
  c) Density decrease caused by greater salinity

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
