प्रश्न
How do evaporation and precipitation cause movement of ocean water?
उत्तर
A high amount of evaporation increases the salinity of oceanic water and excess of precipitation makes water less saline. So the heavy saline water sinks down and the lighter water flows towards it to take its place as an ocean current.
