Which oceanographic effect emerges with increased glacial melting?

💡 Explanation

The weakening of thermohaline circulation occurs because increased glacial runoff introduces large volumes of freshwater into the North Atlantic, disrupting deep water formation; this dilution hinders density-driven sinking, therefore slowing the circulation, rather than enhancing upwelling or stabilizing currents.
