the spin of the earth forces the water centrifugal force) to the equator in a bulge.. although it raises sea heights it does not make it more dense ...water cannot be compressed and made more dense
Two examples of convection currents are atmospheric circulation and ocean currents. In the atmosphere, warm air rises near the equator, cools, and then sinks, creating wind patterns. In the ocean, warm water near the surface moves toward the poles while cooler, denser water sinks and flows back toward the equator, driving large-scale ocean currents. Both processes help regulate temperature and distribute energy across the Earth.

Ocean currents.
Cool dense air moves from land toward water at night due to differences in temperature between the land and water. As the land cools more quickly than the water, the air above the land becomes denser, creating a pressure gradient that causes the air to flow from land to water. This process is known as a land breeze.
The sun. The sun heats the water at equator and this warm water wants to move to where the cold water is located at the poles. As the warm water moves toward the pole, the cold water moves from the pole to the equator to back fill the moving water. This sets up a loop of water that moves in a large loop on the globe.
I think it sinks toward the ocean floor.

Warm water flows towards the poles due to a combination of factors, including wind patterns, currents, and Earth's rotation. As warm water moves towards the poles, it cools and becomes denser, eventually sinking and circulating back towards the equator in a global pattern known as thermohaline circulation. This process helps distribute heat around the world's oceans.
Surface currents
The Gulf Stream circulates around the world, warming up different parts of the planet for different reasons. It's really important to our climate and without out we'd be uh..stuffed. :)

Ocean water generally gets warmer toward the equator and cooler toward the poles. However, the warmest water is not usually observed directly on the equator itself.
