Which effect contributes to deepwater formation near Antarctica?

💡 Explanation

When sea ice forms, salt is excluded; this brine rejection greatly increases the surrounding water's density, initiating thermohaline circulation. Brine exclusion drives density, because density increases rather than decreased salinity from evaporation or different thermal effects.
