Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The Mediterranean Sea receives from the rivers that flow into it only about one-third of the amount of water that it loses by evaporation. In consequence, there is a continuous inflow of surface water from the Atlantic Ocean.
Detailed explanation-2: -Seasonal winds blow over the Mediterranean Sea causing intense evaporation of surface water. This evaporation can exceed freshwater inputs from rainwater and river runoff, increasing the salinity of the surface water. The dense surface water sinks, forming bottom water (Fig 2.21).
