Question

Explain in brief the thermohaline circulation.

Answer 1

Thermohaline circulation (THC) is a part of the large-scale ocean circulation that is driven by global density gradients created by surface heat and freshwater fluxes. ... This dense water then flows into the ocean basins.

Answer 2

Lets talk about the thermohaline circulation.

Thermohaline Circulation

Explanation:

Thermohaline circulation is the large-scale ocean circulation that is caused by changes in surface heat and salinity.

• Driven by surface heat and freshwater fluxes
• Great impact on Earth's climate
• Supplies heat to polar regions
• Changes affect Earth's energy budget

Slowdown of thermohaline circulation:

• Predicted effect of global warming
• Cooling in North Atlantic
