← GeographyWhich feedback outcome occurs when high latitude glacial runoff increases?
A)Decreased North Atlantic Deep Water formation✓
B)Accelerated global thermohaline circulation rate
C)Strengthened coastal upwelling near continents
D)Increased equatorial sea surface temperatures
💡 Explanation
Reduced salinity from glacial runoff lowers ocean water density, decreasing density-driven North Atlantic Deep Water formation because it inhibits sinking water masses. Therefore circulation slows globally rather than accelerating; other options are unrelated
