Describe how brine pools function

Explanation:

Brine pools are sometimes called sea floor "lakes" because the dense brine does not easily mix with overlying seawater. The high salinity raises the density of the brine, which creates a distinct surface and shoreline for the pool. When submarines dive into brine pools, they float on the brine surface due to the high density
