English term or phrase: ocean conveyor belt
As it moves toward the Arctic, the water grows cold enough to sink (cold water is denser than warm). The deep, cold water flows south again in a path sometimes called the ocean conveyor belt.
What we don't know: how might global warming change that current? As glaciers and ice sheets melt, they dump fresh water into the ocean conveyor belt. Cold, fresh water sinks more slowly than saltwater. Could too much fresh water cause the North Atlantic conveyor belt to slow down or even stop? If the conveyor belt stops, Europe and the northeastern U.S. could get chilly in a hurry.

disagree  Boyan Brezinsky: Е, все пак conveyor belt си е просто "конвейер", не "конвейерен пояс". Или в по-тесен смисъл лента за конвейер.
