Deep-water motion transfers heat and nutrients to different parts of the ocean.
Explanation: deep (thermohaline) circulation moves cold, dense water around the globe, redistributing heat and bringing nutrient-rich deep water to other regions (via upwelling), which affects climate and marine productivity. It does not provide light, is not the main cause of tsunamis, and although it helps sequester CO2, its primary noted significance is heat/nutrient transport.
