← GeographyWhich global weather pattern results when thermohaline circulation slows?
A)Regional temperature distribution changes drastically✓
B)Increased stability of Saharan high
C)Intensified polar vortex development occurs
D)Increased frequency of landslides happens
💡 Explanation
Thermohaline circulation redistributes heat; when it slows, this impacts temperatures through energy transport. Reduced upwelling causes less warm water moving to the North Atlantic, drastically altering regional temperatures, because the Gulf Stream weakens; therefore A, rather than B/C/D results.
