Scientists Warn of Potential Climate Catastrophe Due to Ocean Current Shutdown
Understanding the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is a crucial ocean current that helps regulate the Earth’s climate. This system transports warm, salty water northward from the tropics to the North Atlantic, where it cools and sinks, before returning southward. It’s a key component of the global climate system, influencing…
