In the waters of the Polar Regions, it has been said that water here has high salinity (therefore also a high density) because when the seawater freezes, most of the salt stays behind in the unfrozen seawater. As this water moves, it meets up with warmer water therefore it sinks deep beneath the surface; then it travels slowly to the equator. This movement of polar water is called Polar Creep.

is a scientific theory
that describes the large-scale motions of Earth
's lithosphere
. The theory builds on the concepts of continental drift
, developed during the first decades of the 20th century. It was accepted by the geoscientific community after the concepts of seafloor spreading
were developed in the late 1950s and early 1960s

Is molecule AsF3 polar?
It is a polar molecule and has polar bonds.
Is H2CO polar or no polar molecule?
Polar
Is HOBr polar or non-polar?
It is Polar
SBr2 polar or nonpolar?
PBr3 is non-polar: the dipole moment of PBr3 is zero and therefor it is non-polar.
What is the phenomenon of cold deep current moving toward the equator?
polar creep
Is polar creep important?
Yes,because as the cold water at the polar goes to the warm waters of the equator the temperature at the ocean would be balanced ;)bunnyshaine23@yahoo.com
