5 POINT QUESTION: CURRENTS QUIZ No, not salty. Water freezes, kicks out the salt. Water just below iceberg will thus be VERY salty. Cold, salty water sinks… Because…it’s more DENSE… This water moves along bottom… Circulation is called Global Conveyor Belt, going around…also called Thermohaline Circulation This moves heat, nutrients and organisms. Significantly impacts weather and ecosystems.
