Which outcome occurs when high Arctic ice melt disrupts the North Atlantic ocean?

💡 Explanation

Weakened thermohaline circulation can occur with excess fresh water influx at high latitude because decreased salinity reduces density, inhibiting North Atlantic Deep Water formation causing reduced global distribution rates, thereby slowing density-driven water movement; therefore circulation weakens, rather than directly effecting coastal erosion or El Nino.
