Which outcome occurs when North Atlantic Deep Water formation weakens substantially?

💡 Explanation

When North Atlantic Deep Water formation weakens, thermohaline circulation slows because density-driven sinking of cold, salty water is reduced which disrupts the global heat conveyor belt . Therefore reduced heat transport results, rather than other climatic shifts tied to altered atmospheric or ocean processes via different mechanisms.
