← GeographyWhich hydrological outcome results when increased atmospheric temperatures disrupt streamflow?
A)Expansion of thermohaline sinking zones
B)Shifting of river delta locations
C)Intensified glacial meltwater pulsing✓
D)Increased continental coastline erosion
💡 Explanation
Increased streamflow from glacial melt peaks in narrow timeframes involves increased Glacial Isostatic Adjustment, because accelerated melting releases pressure on land masses near the stream. Therefore, glacial meltwater intensifies, rather than thermohaline downwelling, because ocean processes are affected by temperature and salinity changes.
