Question

Which is one characteristic of deep ocean currents?

Deep ocean currents move quickly.
Deep ocean currents are caused by winds.
Deep ocean currents move cold water toward the equator.
Deep ocean currents are affected by temperature but not by salinity.

Answer 1

Deep ocean currents move cold water toward the equator.

Explanation: They are part of the thermohaline circulation driven by density differences (temperature and salinity), not by wind, and they flow slowly along the ocean bottom carrying cold, dense water away from polar regions toward lower latitudes.
