← GeographyWhich outcome results when thermal expansion reduces pressure gradients along coastline streams?
A)Coastal fog condensation increases rapidly
B)Deep ocean upwelling will intensify greatly
C)Thermohaline circulation weakens substantially✓
D)Subtropical desertification decreases unexpectedly
💡 Explanation
Thermohaline circulation weakens because reduced pressure inhibits density-driven movement; this process impacts the ocean's global conveyor belt. Therefore, circulation is less intense, rather than stronger deep upwelling, because increased water temperature reduces sinking.
