Thermohaline Circulation Is ________

question 15

Multiple Choice

Thermohaline circulation is ________.

• A)shallow circulation at low latitudes driven by surface evaporation making seawater more dense,which then sinks and drives upwelling
• B)deep circulation of water driven entirely by cold,saline water descending to the ocean floor at the poles and flowing along the bottom of the ocean
• C)deep circulation of water driven by a combination of cold temperature and high density related to high salinity from formation of sea ice,producing descending high density waters that flow southward to equatorial regions
• D)the circulation that occurs in shallow,evaporate basins when salt begins to crystallize,releasing heat by latent heat of fusion and heating the water mass,forcing shallow convection in the water column
