Which feedback results if Antarctic Bottom Water formation decreases?

💡 Explanation

Decreased bottom water formation reduces the global Thermohaline Circulation, weakening oxygen transport to deep waters because higher density water sinks and pushes out the deep layer. Therefore, less oxygen reaches the bottom sediment, rather than causing other circulation changes.
