← GeographyWhich consequence results when deep ocean thermohaline circulation stalls?
A)Nutrient upwelling greatly diminishes✓
B)Salinity gradients become indistinct
C)Coastal erosion accelerates drastically
D)Deep-sea methane clathrates destabilize
💡 Explanation
Diminished nutrient recycling occurs when thermohaline circulation weakens because upwelling reduces, driving fewer nutrients into the photic zone; therefore nutrient upwelling decreases, rather than changes to salinity, erosion, or hydrate destabilization because these are controlled by other processes.
