About this ebook
Deep Sea Currents reveals the hidden world of underwater rivers and their profound influence on our planet. These deep sea currents are crucial for redistributing heat, shaping global climate patterns, and sustaining marine ecosystems through nutrient cycling.
For instance, the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) acts as a global conveyor belt, influencing temperatures across continents. Understanding these ocean dynamics is now more critical than ever, given the accelerating pace of climate change and its potential impact on these delicate systems.
The book explores the fundamental principles driving deep sea currents, like density differences and the Earth's rotation, and then examines major currents such as the Antarctic Bottom Water. It investigates how these currents affect marine life by dispersing plankton and shaping habitats.
Critically, the book connects alterations in ocean temperature and salinity due to climate change to the strength and stability of these currents, providing a comprehensive and accessible view of this complex earth science.
