The Great Ocean Conveyor Belt is also called thermohaline circulation.

The global current conveyor belt begins on the surface of the ocean near the pole in the North Atlantic.
thermohaline circulation
because thats the way it is Whoever wrote this must be an absolute genius. The real answer is that when THE EARTH SPINS IT CREAATES THE NEW OCEAN FLOOR WHICH ALSO CREATES THE CONVEYOR BELT

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.
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.
The global oceanic conveyor belt, is a unifying concept that connects the ocean's surface and thermohaline (deep mass) circulation regimes, transporting heat and salt on a planetary scale.
Conveyor Belt Cycling describes the movement of the ocean water between surface and deep water.
