Which outcome is initiated by thermohaline circulation changes affecting ocean streams?

A)An altered latitudinal temperature gradient
B)Increased atmospheric carbon sequestration
C)Decreased marine photosynthetic activity
D)Expansion of tropical rainforest biomes

💡 Explanation

A slowing of thermohaline circulation reduces heat transport towards the poles, because latitudinal heat transport from oceanic streams decreases. Therefore, there's an altered gradient rather than increased terrestrial carbon sequestration or biological consequences; ocean currents drive global temperature regulation.
