A thermohaline current may be generated in Arctic and Antarctic regions. When sea water freezes, the salt is excluded from the new ice, thus enriching the adjacent sea water with more salt. This enriched sea water is therefore more dense. It is naturally cold because of where it is produced, and flows as a dense cold stream within the main body of the ocean. It is an important driver of world wide oceanic circulation.
Hence the two part name Thermo and Haline.
What else can I help you with?
What two characteristics of water combine to form a thermohaline?
The two characteristics of water that combine to form a thermohaline current are temperature and salinity. As water becomes cold and more saline, it becomes denser and sinks to the ocean floor, driving the vertical circulation of the ocean known as the thermohaline circulation.
When two or more substances combine so each maintains its own properties what is the result?
A mixture is the result when two or more substances combine in a way that each substance retains its own unique characteristics. Salt water is an example of a mixture.
What would water be when hydrogen and oxygen combine to form water?
When they combine they form a product
When hydrogen and oxygen combine to form water oxygen is?
When hydrogen and oxygen combine to form water, water is a product of the reaction.
Hydrogen and oxygen combine to make what?
they make water
When which two components combine?
When oxygen and hydrogen combine, they form water.
What happens when you combine combine an acid and a base?
You get water and a salt, which is neutral.
What do you get when you combine oxygen and hydrogen?
water
What can change water current?
Assuming you mean water in a pipe, the speed of the moving water can be changed by changing the pressure, the force pushing the water. It can also be changed by changing the characteristics of the pipe (larger, smoother inner walls, etc.)
What do carbon dioxide and water form when they combine?
Soda water.
When you combine alcohol and an organic acid to form water what do you get?
Water...
When hydrogen and oxygen combine to form water what is water?
