Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
Surface currents flow horizontally. They are driven by wind friction. They are able to mix the
uppermost 400 meters of the ocean's surface. Information can be found in the section Surface Currents
Are Driven by the Winds



Answer to Question 2

ANS: F
The thermocline would sink if the deep water did not rise in the temperate and tropical zones. This
would make the layering in the water less steep. The thermocline maintains its position by the
continual slow upward movement of water. Information can be found in the section Thermohaline
Circulation Affects All the Ocean's Water
