The ocean is not a still body of water. There is constant motion in the ocean in the form of a global ocean conveyor belt. This motion is caused by a combination of thermohaline currents thermo temperature haline salinity in the deep ocean and winddriven currents on the surface.

Thermohaline circulation drives a globalscale system of currents called the global conveyor belt. The conveyor belt begins on the surface of the ocean near the pole in the North Atlantic. Here, the water is chilled by arctic temperatures. It also gets saltier because when sea ice forms, the salt does not freeze and is left behind in the

Winds drive ocean currents in the upper 100 meters of the oceans surface. However, ocean currents also flow thousands of meters below the surface. These deepocean currents are driven by differences in the waters density, which is controlled by temperature thermo and salinity haline. This process is known as thermohaline circulation.

The global conveyor belt is the name given to the major circulation system in the worlds oceans. Ocean water circulates on a global scale, forming flows that are known as thermohaline currents, as they are driven by temperature and flows form largescale loops consisting of warm surface currents and cold, deep currents.

The Global Conveyor Belt As previously mentioned, the global conveyor belt describes the current that runs throughout the earths waters, driven by the cold waters at the poles. The belt starts in the North Atlantic Ocean, where cold water that surrounds the ice sinksthe , and starts to flow around the world.

But a larger ocean circulation caused by differences in temperature and salinity drives even greater amounts of water around the world. This thermohaline circulation, also known as the global ocean conveyor belt, involves both surface and deep water throughout the global ocean.

Scientists across the globe are trying to figure out why the ocean is becoming more violent and what, if anything, can be done about it. Ocean currents, including the ocean conveyor belt, play a key role in determining how the ocean distributes heat energy throughout the planet, thereby regulating and stabilizing climate patterns.

Thermohaline circulation THC is a part of the largescale ocean circulation that is driven by global density gradients created by surface heat and freshwater fluxes. The adjective thermohaline derives from thermoreferring to temperature and haline referring to salt content, factors which together determine the density of sea water.

The global conveyor belt is a strong, but easily disrupted process. Research suggests that the conveyor belt may be affected by climate change. If global warming results in increased rainfall in the North Atlantic, and the melting of glaciers and sea ice, the influx of warm freshwater onto the sea surface could block the formation of sea ice, disrupting the sinking of cold, salty water.

The global conveyor belt is simplified in this image and shows ocean currents that move in a cycle. As the Sun warms the northeastern section of the Pacific ocean the currents carry the heat over Australia and under Africa until it reaches the northern Atlantic.

Ocean currents play an important role in controlling climate around the world. These currents act like a giant conveyor belt, warming and cooling parts of the Earth as water circulates. Melting ice caps, caused by global warming, could affect the conditions that cause ocean waters to circulate and have a dramatic

Scientists realized that the ocean was slowly turning over from top to bottom in a continuous global loop. Like a conveyor belt, thermohaline circulation moves nutrients from one part of the ocean to another. Lets start in the northern Atlantic Ocean and follow the conveyor belt as it moves water around the planet.

The global conveyor belt includes both surface and deep ocean currents that circulate the globe in a 1,000year cycle. The global conveyor belts circulation is the result of two simultaneous processes warm surface currents carrying less dense water away from the Equator toward the poles, and cold deep ocean currents carrying denser water
