Question

select the correct answer. which phrase best describes the image? a. global air circulation b. thermohaline circulation c. atmospheric convection d. surface ocean currents on earth

Explanation:

The image shows a global - scale circulation pattern in the ocean. Thermohaline circulation is a large - scale ocean circulation driven by density differences caused by temperature and salinity variations. Global air circulation and atmospheric convection are related to the movement of air, not the oceanic patterns shown. Surface ocean currents are mainly wind - driven and are more on the surface, while the image represents a deeper and more complex oceanic circulation system which is thermohaline circulation.

Answer:

B. thermohaline circulation
