Ocean currents (洋流) are sometimes called “rivers in the sea ”. One of these “rivers ” in the Atlantic is called the Gulf Stream (墨西哥湾流). It is a current of warm water. Another is the Labrador Current---cold water coming down from the Arctic (北冰洋). Ocean currents affects...
erosion and the deposit of sediment on the deep sea floor, but I’m confused, cause, well, for that to happen, there would have to be some kind of force down there moving the mud or sand or whatever, right But I thought there weren’t any waves or currents that deep in the ocean...

Ocean Currents | Definition, Types & Causes from Chapter 6/ Lesson 1 84K Discover what causes ocean currents, the types of ocean currents, and their differences. Learn what are the primary driving forces behind both types of ocean currents. ...
mostly occupied by bacteria and archaea that play a pivotal role in biogeochemical cycles on a planetary scale1,2. Microbial metabolisms in the deep ocean have been assumed to be primarily heterotrophic, relying on organic matter exported from the sunlit layer through sinking particles (zooplankton ...
CURRENTS IN THE DEEP-OCEAN OFF CHILE (30-DEGREES-S)Shaffer, GSalinas, SergioPizarro, OscarVEGA, AHormazabal, SShaffer, G., Salinas, S., Pizarro, O., Vega, A., Hormazabal, S., 1995. Currents in the deep-ocean off Chile (30°S). Deep-Sea Res. I. 42, 425-436....
The seismic data (Supplementary Fig.1) were analysed to identify sediment drifts, which are shaped by bottom currents. Those bottom currents comprise deep or bottom water and are driven by thermohaline circulation. They persist for long periods of time (>104 y) and can develop equilibrium cond...
A decline in ocean circulation is expected to stagnate the bottom of the oceans and generate further impacts affecting the marine and climatic ecosystems for many centuries.
The generation, energetics and propagation of internal tides in the western North Atlantic Ocean period internal waves - the current and temperture fields are dominated by high mode, incoherent, inertial-character morions which mask the tidal currents...
