Question

Thermohaline circulation is driven by differences in _____. wind Earth's rotation temperature salinity density

Answer 1

Thermohaline circulation is driven by differences by "Density." Thermohaline circulation is a single part of the large-scale ocean circulation. It is driven by global density differences that is being created by the freshwater fluxes and as well as the surface heat.

Answer 2

Thermohaline circulation is driven by differences in temperature, salinity and density. The term thermohaline circulation denotes the movement of deep ocean water and it is part of the general oceanic circulation. The circulation includes replacement of seawater at depth with water from the surface and replacement of surface water elsewhere with water rising from deeper depths.
