Different densities of water don’t mix so the more dense sink and a less dense float

Answer:

The Role of Density

Step-by-step explanation:

Denser water tends to sink, while less dense water tends to rise. Cold-water currents occur as the cold water at the poles sinks and slowly moves toward the equator. Warm-water currents travel out from the equator along the surface, flowing toward the poles to replace the sinking cold water.
