Which outcome results when increased glacial meltwater enters the North Atlantic?

💡 Explanation

Glacial meltwater reduces surface salinity, because it introduces freshwater and weakens density driven thermohaline circulation. Therefore, the salinity declines, rather than the nutricline deepening, and it overrides boundary current factors.
