A teacher creates a model of ocean currents. The teacher pours salt water with blue dye on one side of a container and freshwater with green dye on the other side. Next, the teacher carefully removes the divider, and the students observe what occurs, as shown.
What event do the students observe immediately after the divider is removed that models ocean currents?
