Which outcome results when Antarctic Bottom Water formation stalls?

💡 Explanation

Deep-ocean oxygen replenishment decreases because thermohaline circulation driven by density differences is interrupted, therefore reducing the sinking and subsequent flow of oxygen-rich surface waters; rather than affecting only coastal upwelling or tropical systems.
