Question

multiple select question select all that apply what is true about intermediate water masses? □ they are warmer than deepwater masses. □ they are colder than deepwater masses. □ they are less dense than deepwater masses. □ they are denser than deepwater masses.

Explanation:

Intermediate water masses are typically formed in sub - polar or mid - latitude regions. Compared to deep - water masses (which are formed in polar regions and are very cold and dense), intermediate water masses are warmer (because they are formed in relatively warmer regions than polar regions) and less dense (since temperature and density are related; warmer water is generally less dense, and deep - water masses are cold and dense). So "They are warmer than deepwater masses" and "They are less dense than deepwater masses" are correct. "They are colder than deepwater masses" and "They are denser than deepwater masses" are incorrect as deep - water masses are colder and denser.

Answer:

• They are warmer than deepwater masses.
• They are less dense than deepwater masses.
