question 10 (1 point)
how and where do surface ocean currents connect with the deep thermohaline circulation?
surface and deep ocean currents connect through downwelling at high latitudes (near greenland in the north atlantic and around antarctica).
as sea ice forms near the poles, it leaves behind salt, increasing the salinity of the water around it. this cold, dense water sinks to the ocean floor, becoming a deep ocean current.
these two systems of currents also connect through upwelling in many parts of the ocean, including off the coasts of continents.
in upwelling, winds blow surface water away from coasts, and deep, cold, nutrient - rich water rises to replace it. this process is driven by both wind and the earths rotation.
the global conveyor belt also known as thermohaline circulation results from the sinking of surface water at the poles and its rising elsewhere creating a continuous, 1,000 - year cycle of global ocean circulation that connects deep and surface currents. this entire system is driven by differences in water density caused by temperature (thermo) and salinity (haline).
all answers are correct

Explanation:

• Surface and deep ocean currents connect through downwelling at high latitudes (near Greenland in the North Atlantic and around Antarctica).
• As sea ice forms near the poles, it leaves behind salt, increasing the salinity of the water around it. This cold, dense water sinks to the ocean floor, becoming a deep ocean current.
• These two systems of currents also connect through upwelling in many parts of the ocean, including off the coasts of continents.
• In upwelling, winds blow surface water away from coasts, and deep, cold, nutrient - rich water rises to replace it. This process is driven by both wind and the Earth's rotation.
• The Global Conveyor Belt (also known as Thermohaline Circulation) results from the sinking of surface water at the poles and its rising elsewhere creating a continuous, 1,000 - year cycle of global ocean circulation that connects deep and surface currents. This entire system is driven by differences in water density caused by temperature (thermo) and salinity (haline).
