The two correct answers that describe how water mixes in a thermohaline current are:

  1. Saltier water sinks under less salty water.
  2. Cold water sinks under warmer water.

In thermohaline circulation, denser water, which can be caused by higher salinity or lower temperature, will sink below less dense water.
