The true statement about deep currents is:
They move cold water along the bottom of the ocean from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean.
Deep ocean currents, often referred to as thermohaline circulation, are driven by differences in water density, which is influenced by temperature (thermo) and salinity (haline). Cold, dense water typically sinks in the North Atlantic and flows toward the equator and then to the Pacific Ocean.
