Which 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
