Which consequence results when increased glacial meltwater inhibits North Atlantic Deep Water formation?

💡 Explanation

Reduced salinity from meltwater decreases water density, suppressing **thermohaline circulation**, inhibiting sinking; because density differences drive the current, circulation will weaken; therefore, North Atlantic current strength reduces, rather than intensify other unrelated ocean phenomena.
