Although much of the ocean’s abyss seems dark, still and silent, water is nevertheless always flowing, and in specific directions. Much of this water cools as it flows towards the poles, becoming denser and sinking to the ocean floor. Vast, slow currents called conveyors help create and govern the climate we experience.
