Which climatic consequence results when increased glacial meltwater flow amplifies coastal stream discharge?

💡 Explanation

Reduced salinity suppresses deep water formation because freshwater is less dense; therefore, thermohaline _circulation_ weakening occurs with high glacial discharge, rather than increased atmospheric pressure, which is controlled by other factors than ocean salinity alone, or increased upwelling.
