What is Bottom water?
'''Bottom water''' is the lowest layer of [[water]] in an [[ocean]]. It is very [[dense]] and is different from other layers of water in terms of [[temperature]], [[salt]] content ([[salinity]]) and [[oxygen]] content. Most bottom waters of the [[South Pacific]], southern [[Indian Ocean]], [[South Atlantic]] and parts of the [[North Atlantic]] are made near [[Antarctica]] during the winter.<ref>[https://www.britannica.com/science/bottom-water bottom water], ''[[Britannica.com]]''.</ref> == Related pages == *[[L'Atalante basin]], in the Mediterranean Sea == References == {{reflist}} {{stub}} [[Category:Oceanography]] [[Category:Water]]
