← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when glacier calving increases sharply?
A)Increased isostatic crustal rebound occurs
B)Increased global albedo surface occurs
C)Thermohaline circulation slowdown happens✓
D)Rapid formation of a moraine starts
💡 Explanation
Thermohaline circulation slows because increased glacial meltwater freshens surface waters, reducing density and inhibiting sinking, the mechanism that drives the current; therefore, global heat distribution changes rather than albedo increase, moraine formation, or crustal rebound initially.
