Five fast facts about the ocean conveyor belt (global thermohaline circulation)

Thermohaline circulation is the ocean's conveyor belt, driven by temperature and salinity variations.

North Atlantic Deep Water is a key driving force of the conveyor belt.

It takes about 500 years for water to make one complete trip around Earth.

Thermohaline circulation significantly influences Earth's climate and weather patterns.

Cold, saline water in the North Atlantic sinks, forming the densest ocean water.
