The concept of thermohaline circulation might sound like a complex term from a science textbook, but it plays a crucial role ...

The oceans are mostly composed of warm salty water near the surface over cold, less salty water in the ocean depths. These two regions don't mix except in certain special areas, which creates a large ...

If the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation were to collapse, it would have profound implications for global climate ...
