What is the driving force of the deep water ocean conveyor belt?

• Winds push the deep water into the Pacific and Indian oceans.

• Gravity from the moon pulls the water towards the equator.

• The spinning of Earth makes the deep water current run in circular paths.

• Very cold temperatures at the poles create very cold, salty water that pushes the deep water current.
