Question 1 • TX-Environmental Systems B

Thermohaline circulation _______.

Answer
A
supplies heat to polar regions
B
causes salt lake formation
C
causes oxbow lake formation
D
is unaffected by heat fluctuations

Explanation

Thermohaline circulation is the large-scale movement of ocean water driven by differences in temperature and salinity. It transports warm water toward higher latitudes, helping supply heat to polar regions. Salt-lake and oxbow-lake formation are unrelated, and the circulation can be affected by heat fluctuations.
