The warm water at the equator moves towards poles and the cold water at the poles moves toward the equator. Why is this important

1

As the cold salty water sinks at the pole the warm oxygen rich water from the equator replaces the displacing water. This warm water cools down and sinks to the bottom. Why is this important?

1

The cold salty nutrient rich water water sinks at the pole and moves toward the equator. As it reaches the equator the cold water warms up and rise to the surface. Why is this important?
