Which ocean process results from Antarctica's sea ice formation?

💡 Explanation

Brine rejection into the surrounding waters causes localized regions of high salinity, leading to increased density; therefore, deep water is formed via density-driven circulation called thermohaline circulation because it sinks rather than increases temperatures.
