well a jet stream could be short and could be in all same directions.

also a global wind belt could be everywhere in directions blowing some sort of wind or gas

How might global climate change affect the global conveyor belt?

Global climate change could potentially disrupt the global conveyor belt by altering temperature and salinity patterns in the ocean. This could lead to changes in ocean currents and potentially weaken or even shut down parts of the global conveyor belt, impacting global climate systems. This could have far-reaching consequences on weather patterns, marine ecosystems, and even regional climates around the world.


Where does the global current conveyor belt begin?

The global current conveyor belt begins in the North Atlantic Ocean, where warm water from the Gulf Stream moves northward to the Arctic. This warm water eventually cools and sinks in the Labrador Sea, starting a deep current that travels southward along the ocean floor.


What global wind belt is US located?

Most of the USA is in the "Prevailing Weterlies" wind belt. also, the westerlies travel accross the globe because the easterlies said so. LOL


What is the global ocean conveyor?

The global ocean conveyor belt, also known as the thermohaline circulation, is a system of deep-ocean circulation driven by density differences caused by variations in temperature and salinity. It plays a crucial role in distributing heat around the Earth and regulating climate. Warm surface currents move towards the poles, where they cool, become denser, and sink, forming deep ocean currents that then circulate back towards the equator.


How long does it take for a water molecule to travel through the entire ocean conveyor belt?

Individual molecules move in a random manner. Furthermore, the ocean conveyor belt has many divisions and loops. For example, there are six main entries and exits surround the Antarctic, so a minimum of four 'laps' would be required to encounter them all. Finally, water at different depths move at varying speeds and directions.With all those conditions in mind, scientists have estimated it to take 1000 years for a section of water to fully travel the global circuit.

What is the difference between the gulf stream and the global conveyor belt?

The Gulf Stream is a powerful and warm Atlantic Ocean current that originates at the Tip of Florida and going along the East coast of America. It then splits in two, some of it going to Europe, and some of it going to West Africa and recirculating back. The global conveyor belt is the one current that goes around the seas and oceans, splitting up and joining up in different places around the world.
