Answer:

Cooling

Explanation:

In the higher latitudinal regions, the temperature remains much colder in comparison to the low latitudinal region. Due to this, there occurs rapid cooling of the seawater, and the surface water also remains moderately cool, along with the increasing salt concentration, the density of the seawater in this region is high.

The rate of cooling is relatively high here in comparison to the rate of evaporation or heating. So the cooling is one of the major mechanisms in the high latitude regions that are responsible for the formation of denser water.

What effect do large bodies of water tend to have on coastal areas?
Mila [183]

Answer:

Large bodies of water such as oceans, seas, and large lakes affect the climate of an area. Water heats and cools more slowly than land. Therefore, in the summer, the coastal regions will stay cooler and in winter warmer. A more moderate climate with a smaller temperature range is created.
