Which statement best explains why Earth's outer core is in liquid form? O The iron-nickel alloy melts due to hot temperatures.
O The outer core has a tarry consistency.
This region is less dense when compared to the mantle.
This region is under extreme pressure from the weight of other layers.

How do temperature and salinity affect deepwater currents? as temperatures and salinity levels of water increase, the water rises to the surface where it creates currents as it moves to colder regions. they create changes in wind direction, moving denser water in the same direction as the wind and causing the deepwater circulation patterns found in the ocean. they equalize the forces on undersea currents caused by the coriolis effect as they replace more dense water with less dense water. they create density differences that cause dense deepwater currents to flow toward the equator where they displace less dense, warmer water above them.
