Which outcome is accelerated along ocean surface currents when increased atmospheric temperatures weaken the density gradient near glacier streams?

💡 Explanation

Reduced vertical mixing occurs because warmer surface waters make it harder for denser, colder water to rise; the thermal stratification mechanism increases stability, therefore inhibiting the colder, glacier stream water from mixing upwards, rather than promoting mixing patterns.
