Antarctica Coastal water body: This water body is found in the south of the Indian Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean near the Antarctica continent. Its extensive form is found in the Wad – dell Sea. The amount of salinity increases due to the increase in freezing point of water near the continental shelf. In this part, the salinity of water is 34.62%o, temperature is -1.9 degree Celsius and density is 27:89.

The density of water increases by attaining the ice point and it sits in the bottom, because the water of the proximate sea is relatively warm, in which the salinity is 34.68%o, temperature is 0.5 degree Celsius and density is 27.84. This is a particular type of water which spreads in the bottom and by the mixture it takes the form of a specific water body.
