Salt influences deep ocean currents primarily through a process called thermohaline circulation, which is driven by variations in water density caused by temperature (thermo) and salinity (haline). Higher salinity increases water density, causing it to sink in certain regions, such as the North Atlantic. This sinking water contributes to the global conveyor belt of ocean currents, affecting climate and nutrient distribution. Overall, changes in salt levels can significantly alter deep ocean circulation patterns.
What else can I help you with?
How salinity affects deep currents?
it makes cold water rise 2 the surface.and that's how sailinity affects currents.
Are thermohaline currents surface or deep water currents?
deepwater currents
Are deep currents controlled by are deep currents controlled by wind?
NO
What is the difference between surface currents and deep currents?
Deep ocean currents are in the depths of the oceans. Surface current are at the surface, not deep down. Deep ocean currents bring vitamins and nutrients to the shore, surface currents do not. Deep ocean currents are caused by salinity and temperature differences. Surface currents are cause by the force and impact of the wind.

The deep water currents makes up what?
The deep water currents makes up what?
How are deep ocean currents form?
Cold ocean currents sink under warm ocean currents to form deep ocean currents.
What is the primary difference between surface currents and deep currents?
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.
How Do Deep Currents Form?
Differences in temperature and in density of seawater drive deep ocean currents.
Are deep ocean currents predominantly cold or warm?
Deep ocean currents are predominantly cold.
Deep ocean currents are created by cold water rising sinking or staying the same?
deep ocean currents are created by yo mama..... at night. deep ocean currents are created by yo mama..... at night. deep ocean currents are created by yo mama..... at night.
Compared with surface currents deep currents are?
Colder && Denser.
