Answer 1

Answer: When the water is heated, it becomes less dense and rises.

Explanation: One factor that causes ocean currents is the varying temperature of the ocean water. Cold water is denser than warm water, so it stays below the warm water.

In the Pacific Ocean, some of the cold water at the bottom of the ocean mixes with the warm water above it. As a result, this water is warmed. When the water is heated, it becomes less dense and rises.
