An instrument is gradually lowered beneath the surface of the ocean to measure the temperature and salinity of the water. The graphs below show the change in temperature at each depth in kilometers below the surface.

Image of two graphs. The left graph has the x axis labeled temperature degree C ranging from 0 to 10. The y axis is labeled depth below surface, km, ranging from negative 1.8 to 0. The line on graph goes up vertically starting at about 2 degree C on the x axis and negative 1.9 km on the y axis. The vertical line goes up staying at about 2 degree C and climbs from negative 1.9 km to about negative 0.8 km. The line starts to shift right at negative 0.6 km. The line shifts to the right from 2 degree C to 5 degree C. The line shifts to right more starting at negative 0.5 km and reaches 10 degree C around negative 0.2 km. The line continues up vertically after negative 0.2 km. The right graph has the x axis labeled salinity ranging from 33.8 to 34.6. The y axis is labeled depth below surface, km, ranging from negative 1.8 to 0. The line on the graph starts at 34 on the x axis and 0 km on the y axis. The line starts to shift to the right at negative 0.1 km and levels out at 34.2 on the x axis. At negative 0.2 km the line shifts to the left and continues to shift left until it reaches negative 0.5 km. The line starts to shift to the right again at negative 0.6 and continues to shift right until it reaches negative 1.9 km on the y axis and 34.6 on the x axis.

What is the most valid conclusion regarding ocean depth temperature, based on the data?

A.) The temperature and salinity increase with increasing depth.

B.) The salinity increases as the depth goes closer to zero.

C.) The bottom of the ocean is frozen and salinity levels are low.

D.) The ocean temperature never rises above 10°C and salinity remains constant.

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The most valid conclusion regarding ocean depth temperature, based on the data, is the salinity increases as the depth goes closer to zero. The correct option is B.

An ocean is a large body of salt water. The oceans are divided into seven kinds. But they are interconnected to each other. The ocean is the largest water body, and it is also present in the form of freeze blocks of ice.

The graph is given of the temperature and salinity of the ocean, with the depth of the ocean the temperature of the ocean decreases, and the salinity increases.

The salinity of the water represents the presence of salt in the oceans. It. the graph proves that the salinity increases with the depth, coming closer to the depth.

Thus, the correct option is B.) The salinity increases as the depth goes closer to zero.
