Ocean currents
Conveyor Belt Cycling describes the movement of the ocean water between surface and deep water.
Deep current is a movement of the ocean water. The ocean waters current is continuous.

The movement of deep water in the ocean basins is by density driven forces and gravity.
Deep currents
The ocean is deep because of the Earth's crust, which is thinner under the ocean than on land. This allows more space for water to fill, creating the deep ocean basins. Additionally, the movement of tectonic plates can also create deep trenches in the ocean floor.
The water that forms far below the surface is called a Deep Current.
Compare and contrast surface currents and deep currents. They are both are moving water that flows through oceans. Surface currents are towards the top of the ocean, can be warm or cold, and are controlled by winds. Deep currents are low, deep in the ocean, cold, and are controlled by density.
Temperature differences in water
They cause movement of the ocean.
Deep currents are streamlike movements of water that flow very slowly along the ocean floor. Deep currents occur when the cold, dense water from the poles sinks below warmer, less sense ocean water and flows towards the equator.
Movement of the ocean, or tides are directly related to deep ocean currents. Deep ocean currents are also responsible for the wind that causes the waves to crash into the shore.
