In the equatorial regions, where the incidence angle of the Solar rays is closer to 90 degrees, the temperature on the surface of the ocean is higher, thus causing the formation of the warm ocean currents, such as Gulfstream, for example. This warm current flows to the North, where the water of the current cools. Cold water gets heavy, and sinks to the bottom of the ocean, where it spreads (gets mixed with the rest of the ocean's deep water) and travels back to the equatorial areas, where it is warmed up and, the warmer it gets, the more it comes up to the surface, where some evaporation occurs, and the warm current is formed again.
