Wind driven currents move in large circular patterns called as gyres. Thermohaline circulation reference to huge movement of water that flows down from surface to the ocean depths and then again gradually moving forward at the same time. This comes out because of differences in body temperature and salinity with heavy, cold salty water constantly falling to the bottom of the ocean and pushing warmer, less salty water to the top. Thermohaline circulation is known as 'great Ocean conveyor belt' because it moves water...
