The figure below is a temperature-salinity diagram. What is true about water masses A, B, and C? (Select all that apply) Temperature-Salinity Diagram (lines of equal density in g/cm^3) 20 1.0245 1.0250 15 1.0255 1.0260 1.0265 1.0270 1.0275 1.0280 1.0285 33.5 34.0 34.5 35.0 35.5 Salinity (PSU) 36.0 36.5 B would sink below C A would sink below B C would sink below B These three water masses would mix easily A would sink below C Temperature (°C) 5 1.0290
