The formation of dense, cold, and salty 'Antarctic Bottom Water' in the Southern Ocean is a key driver of what global process?

A) El Niño events
B) Monsoon winds
C) Thermohaline Circulation
D) The creation of hurricanes

Correct Answer: C) Thermohaline Circulation

When sea ice forms around Antarctica, the remaining water becomes very salty and dense. This cold, dense water sinks to the ocean floor and flows north, forming the Antarctic Bottom Water. This process is a crucial engine for the global thermohaline circulation, or 'ocean conveyor belt'.
