Which effect results from decreased salinity near Greenland?

💡 Explanation

Weakened salinity reduces water density, inhibiting thermohaline circulation. This disrupts the normal sinking, which weakens the North Atlantic Current's northward flow because ocean salinity gradients drive density differences, therefore hindering deepwater formation, rather than affecting upwelling.
