Answer:

thermohaline circulation

Explanation:

Thermohaline circulation occurs through the difference in density between the waters of the sea current in relation to the temperature and the amount of salt that they present. Thus, this oceanographic phenomenon makes the waters with the highest concentrations of salt, the surface waters in the North Atlantic, near Greenland, are swallowed by the part with the lowest concentration, sinking completely and causing a turnaround in the maritime space. This throws the waters with the lowest salt concentration upwards, displacing the deeper waters and attracting the warm tropical surface waters

Dmitrij [34]

In general, what are the himalayan mountains composed of: folded and bent rock.

  • The geology of the Himalayas is a record of the most dramatic and visible creations of the immense mountain range formed by plate tectonic forces and sculpted by weathering and erosion.
  • The Himalayas, which stretch over 2400 km between the Namcha Barwa syntaxis at the eastern end of the mountain range and the Nanga Parbat syntaxis at the western end, are the result of an ongoing orogeny — the collision of the continental crust of two tectonic plates, namely, the Indian Plate thrusting into the Eurasian Plate.
  • The Himalaya-Tibet region supplies fresh water for more than one-fifth of the world population, and accounts for a quarter of the global sedimentary budget.
