Thermohaline Circulation Demonstration

The cold water is rising /falling (type the correct one)

Draw a color diagram of what you observe happening in the video. Show what happens to the warm water and the cold water - label this in your explanation

Reorder the following

• Ice is placed in the tank

• Ice floats because it is less dense than the liquid water

• The cold water sinks to the bottom

• The cold water travels along the bottom

• Ice melts causing the temperature of the water is lowered

Explain how these two models relate to the real ocean and thermohaline circulation. Make sure you identify how each part of the model shows what is happening in the real-world thermohaline circulation of the ocean. Feel free to add an image to support your answer.
