huvudströmmarna
Huvudströmmarna refers to the main currents of water that circulate around the globe. These vast, river-like flows in the ocean play a critical role in regulating Earth's climate by transporting heat from the equator towards the poles and cooler water back. They are driven by a combination of factors including wind, temperature, and salinity differences, a process known as thermohaline circulation.
The most prominent example of a major surface current is the Gulf Stream, which originates in the
Beneath the surface, deep ocean currents are also crucial. These are driven by density differences caused by
