Which outcome occurs when glacial meltwater streams dramatically alters stratification?

💡 Explanation

Salinity stratification increases due to freshwater input, disrupting thermohaline circulation via buoyancy forcing because less-dense fresh water limits vertical mixing. Therefore, ocean overturning slows, rather than initiating other hydrological or terrestrial shifts involving erosion or land productivity.
