Global Oceanic Conveyor Belt

The global oceanic conveyor belt, also known as thermohaline circulation, is a large-scale deep-water current system that moves ocean water around the globe. Driven by differences in water temperature and salinity, it helps regulate Earth's climate by transporting warm water from equatorial regions to the poles and bringing cold water back south. This continuous flow influences weather patterns, distributes nutrients, and supports marine ecosystems, acting like a giant conveyor that connects different parts of the world’s oceans to maintain a balance in global climate and marine life.
