@plutone220696 watch this video, it will really help u ,,GLOBAL WARNING - The Great Ocean Conveyor and Potential Mass Extinctions,, (on youtube) its really easy....but short-long story...the cold current from the bottom of the ocean, which comes from the pole area meets the warm current from the equator region and eventually rise up again...it sinks when this warm water current is brought back again to the poles, by the gulf stream current. good luck :)
E-mail me if you are interested in this topic. There are competing ideas that are too advanced for an intro class. Basically, buoyancy plays a role in the sinking of water masses, but mechanical mixing from tides, internal waves and continental shelf interactions, and upwelling are required to bring that water to the surface.

i don't quite understand how bottom currents rise.

useless - didn't explain anything relevant in regard to HOW the thermohaline circulation works
