2020-6-10 · The global ocean conveyor belt is a constantly moving system of deep-ocean circulation driven by temperature and salinity. The great ocean conveyor moves water around the globe. Cold, salty water is dense and sinks to the bottom of the ocean while warm water is less dense and remains on the surface.

Read More2002-5-24 · 1. Introduction [2] The global thermohaline circulation (THC), sometimes referred to as the ocean's “conveyor belt”, is important because it is responsible for a large portion of the heat transport from the tropics to higher latitudes. The physical structure of THC and its efficiency in regulating climate is substantially affected by the nature and very existence of inter-ocean
Read More2021-10-24 · A belt conveyor uses a belt to transport material from one point to another. The belt is stretched across the conveyor length with pulleys at both ends to support the belt. A driving mechanism such as an electric motor rotates the pulleys, which moves the belt across the conveyor length. The belt’s speed can be fixed or variable, depending ...
