Deep Ocean Currents Driven by Density of Seawater
{"Image DocumentName": "Deep Ocean Currents Driven by Density of Seawater", "Image ImageDescription": "In contrast to wind-driven surface currents, deep ocean circulation is driven by changes in density. There are only a few places on earth where the environmental conditions change the density of seawater in a way that results in the formation of deep water. Deep water formation simply refers to the process whereby seawater sinks from the surface to the deep ocean.
