← GeographyWhich outcome results when continental glaciation impedes thermohaline circulation?
A)Deep-sea oxygen concentration increases
B)Sea level at equator decreases
C)North Atlantic salinity increases
D)Regional precipitation patterns shift✓
💡 Explanation
Decreased thermohaline circulation from meltwater influx alters heat distribution, therefore causing shifts in regional precipitation patterns, because altered sea surface temperatures influence atmospheric pressure gradients rather than directly affecting oxygen or salinity at significant scales.
