Ocean Currents

The video explores ocean currents, highlighting their types, causes, and global impact. Surface currents are influenced by wind and the Coriolis effect, while deep currents are driven by temperature and salinity differences, known as thermohaline circulation. Upwelling and downwelling are also discussed, emphasizing their role in nutrient distribution and ocean life. Overall, ocean currents significantly affect climate and marine ecosystems worldwide.

Explain the concept of thermohaline circulation.
