What drives thermohaline circulation and how does the water return to the equator?

It's driven by differences in density due to different water temperatures and salinities in ocean water, forming a large global "conveyor belt." It goes to the equator because the density is higher at the poles and salinity is slightly lower at the equator than its surroundings.
