it has the greatest density and it has the coldest water

Explanation:

Since, sunlight will heat the surface of ocean water due to which convection occurs in ocean water. As a result, hot water will rise whereas cold water being denser will sink at the bottom.

Density is the mass present in a unit volume. Therefore, water at the bottom is colder this means that molecules of water are closer to each other. Hence, there will be more mass per unit volume due to which bottom layer of the ocean will have high density.

Thus, we can conclude that following is true about bottom layer of the ocean.

  • It has the greatest density.
  • It has the coldest water.
