Activity 3A-Global Ocean Conveyor Belt Unit 3- Hydrosphere Glossary Unit Vocabulary Word Hydrosphere Global Ocean Conveyor Density Belt Hydrosphere Global Ocean Conveyor Belt Ocean current Hydrosphere Activity Global Ocean Conveyor Thermohaline current Belt Definition The calculated mass per unit volume of a substance (Less dense fluids and gases float on more dense fluids and gases unless they mix. Hot air is less dense than cold air, which is why hot air balloon rise.) A continuous and directed movement of the oceans’ water due to winds, waves, temperature, density, or the movement of the Earth The thermohaline (thermo = heat; haline = salinity) circulation of the oceans refers t o the deep- w a t e r current that is driven by cold dense salty water and warm surface waters.
