Which effect happens when deep ocean brine drains?

💡 Explanation

Sinking brine drives thermohaline circulation by density differences; brine rejection increases local density, because dense water masses descend and contribute to global overturning, therefore slowing down large-scale weather changes, rather than speeding glaciers.
