Question
What are the reasons responsible for the formation of deep ocean currents?
Give Reasons
Solution
These deep-sea currents are usually formed due to differences in the temperature and density of water in different parts of the ocean. The temperature of water in different parts is also a major reason behind deep-sea currents. Warm water has low salinity and is also less dense, so it comes to the surface, while cold water, having high density, goes down.
