Thermohaline circulation is driven by:
A) density.
B) gravity.
C) latitude.
D) temperature.
E) wind.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Thermohaline circulation is primarily driven by differences in water density caused by variations in temperature (thermo) and salt content (haline). Gravity also plays a role in maintaining the circulation, but it is not the primary driver. Latitude and wind can influence surface currents but do not drive thermohaline circulation.
