Underwater mountains help ocean water rise from abyss At high latitudes, such as near Antarctica and the Arctic Circle, the ocean's surface waters are cooled by frigid temperatures and become so dense that they sink a few thousand meters into the ocean's abyss. Scientists have now identified a mechanism by which waters may rise from the ocean's depths to its uppermost layers. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/03/170306092725.htm

  1. A lot happens under the ocean waters and we are also unaware as to what role is played by the heat energy stored in the core of the earth. We are a also unaware as to what heat energy ultimately gets discharges by biological activity of flora and fauna under water in different geographies and what causes the bottom of oceans to get heated to rise .Mere physical turbulence by topography of ocean bottom may not be the only reason...Only small amounts of energy is required to start the process of rising up as density changes are not only with temperature but also with the trapped bubbles of CO2 as well as Oxygen and also the geysers that may be due to the heat of the core of earth.
