A major driving mechanism of the MOC is the sinking of water in the North Atlantic Ocean. This begins with the formation of ______. As ocean water freezes, ice crystals exclude salt and the salinity of the surrounding water increases. a.Antarctic Bottom Water b.Antarctic Intermediate Water c.North Atlantic Deep Water d.Meditteranean Intermediate Water Refer to Figure 5B-4. NADW has a temperature between 2°C and 4°C and a salinity between 34.9 and 35.0. Mediterranean Intermediate Water has a similar density as NADW. It has a temperature and salinity of ______. a.4°C and 34.0 b.5°C and 35.5 c.10°C and 36.0"
