Deep ocean currents are caused by differences in water temperature and salinity. In this experiment‚ the students will hypothesize the cause of ocean currents and then develop a model to explain the role of salinity and density in deep ocean currents. CONCEPTS Salt water is more dense than fresh water‚ and is therefore
