Read the following passage and answer if the question is true or false.
Passage: Deep ocean water (DOW) is the name for cold, salty water found deep below the surface of Earth's oceans. Ocean water differs in temperature and salinity. Warm surface water is generally saltier than the cooler deep or polar waters; in polar regions, the upper layers of ocean water are cold and fresh. Deep ocean water makes up about 90% of the volume of the oceans. Deep ocean water has a very uniform temperature, around 0-3 °C, and a salinity of about 3.5% or as oceanographers state as 35 ppt (parts per thousand).

Question: is the bottom of the ocean saltier than the top?

Is the answer True or False? Respond with only "True" or "False" and no additional text.
False
False. The passage states that deep ocean water, which is found at the bottom of the ocean, has a lower salinity than the surface water.
