Conveyor Belt Cycling describes the movement of the ocean water between surface and deep water.

The global conveyor belt is formed by a combination of surface and deep-ocean currents. It starts with cold, dense water sinking near the poles, which then flows along the ocean bottom towards the equator. This deep water eventually rises back to the surface in regions such as the North Atlantic, creating a continuous loop of circulation.
It helps move around minerals and it kepps the ocean from getting to hot in certain areas by moving the water around
The sun/solar energy is the driving force behind the water cycle.

Deep ocean circulation(90% of ocean water) is caused by differences in temperature, salinity and suspended load. It is referred to as "Thermohaline"- meaning heat and salt- circulation.

currents in air and water move aroung the ocean due to salt
