Properties of Ocean Water
... Water near the surface is warmer and less dense, so it doesn’t mix easily with deeper water. Deep ocean currents form when cold polar water sinks and moves below the warm water to the equator. ...

Effects of global warming on oceans
Global warming can affect sea levels, coastlines, ocean acidification, ocean currents, seawater, sea surface temperatures, tides, the sea floor, weather, and trigger several changes in ocean bio-geochemistry; all of these affect the functioning of a society.
