4 Distance from the equator, time of year, current patterns, and water depth all affect the temperature of water.

6 As water depth increase, pressure increases.

8 A measure of mass per unit of volume. The higher an object's density, the higher its mass per volume. A measure of how heavy a solid, liquid, or gas is for its size.

10 The conveyor belt circulates ocean water around the globe, and in the process redistributes heat and nutrients.
