 Thermohaline circulation

Thermohaline circulation, often referred to as the "global conveyor belt," is a large-scale movement of seawater driven by differences in temperature (thermo) and salinity (haline) across the world's oceans. This circulation plays a crucial role in regulating climate and distributing heat, nutrients, and gases across the planet. Here's how it works: 1. **Temperature (Thermo)**: Warm water is generally found near the equator, where it is heated by the sun.
