The rising of the deep cold currents to the ocean surface is called
Cold water sinks, while warm water rises.
Cold water always sinks.
warmer, lighter equatorial. Cold sinking cold salty polar. Warm rising equatorial.
Antarctic bottom water of the Southern Ocean is the coldest water on earth. Cold water is always found at the bottom of any combination of water temperatures.
The top is warmed by the sun's rays. Warm water is less dense than cold water so if floats on top. As water cools it sinks to lower levels...until it reaches the bottom.
good question! turns out, water pressure is actually too strong for most of cold new water to get Dow to the bottom!
Cold water is denser than warm water. Cold water sinks the bottom of the ocean taking many of the oxygen molecules with it. In the same sense warm water keeps water molecules spread throughout it self.

Hot particles rising and cold particles sinking create convection currents. This phenomenon is responsible for heat transfer in fluids, such as the movement of air in the atmosphere or water in the ocean. It plays a key role in driving weather patterns and ocean currents.
cold water flows in the ocean to the coast of California
