djupströmmar
Djupströmmar, also known as deep currents or thermohaline circulation, are large-scale ocean currents that move water masses along the ocean floor. These currents are driven by differences in water density, which are primarily determined by temperature and salinity. Cold, salty water is denser than warm, less salty water, causing it to sink and flow along the ocean bottom.
The formation of djupströmmar is a crucial part of the global ocean conveyor belt. In polar regions,
As these deep water masses travel, they gradually mix with surrounding waters and eventually upwell in other
