Which process creates thermohaline circulation within deep glacial lakes?

💡 Explanation

When surface water cools and becomes saltier (denser), convection occurs and denser water sinks, displacing less dense water because density differences are the primary driver. Therefore, convection driven by density differences creates thermohaline circulation, rather than advection, diffusion, or conduction which are less dominant in these systems.
