Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The deep water found in bottom water masses, in general, moves too slowly for flow meters to
measure. Water masses with faster currents can be measured by flow meters. Information can be found
in the section Studying Currents



Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The Mediterranean Deep Water is even more saline than the Antarctic Bottom Water at 38 , but it is
not as dense. The lighter density is due to the water being warmer in the Mediterranean. The two water
masses do not mix because of the differences in density. Information can be found in the section
Thermohaline Circulation Affects All the Ocean's Water.
