Along which line does increased evaporation rates destabilize ocean stratification, creating localized convection currents?

💡 Explanation

Increased salinity due to evaporation at the subtropics causes denser surface water at subtropical convergence zones; this convective overturning occurs because of haline forcing, therefore subtropical areas, rather than polar or equatorial zones where other processes dominate.
