Global ocean conveyor belt circulation is driven by slight differences in seawater density as the density of seawater determines its tendency to move vertically. At what latitudes is water column instability great enough to result in the sinking of surface waters to thousands of meters of depth?

Given our understanding of Global ocean conveyor belt circulation, we can confirm that water becomes dense enough to sink thousands of meters in depth at high latitudes.

As water travels through the Global ocean conveyor belt towards higher latitudes, it cools rapidly. The cooling of the water causes it to become much denser than the warmer waters that lie below it. This then causes the cooler water to sink, pushing the water underneath and thus continuing the cycle.
