Which outcome occurs when freshwater influx disrupts circulation?

💡 Explanation

A decline in freshwater density reduces deep water formation because density differences drive thermohaline circulation; therefore, stratification increases and deep water formation lowers, rather than increased upwelling or stabilization which require dense sinking water.
