Which resulting phenomenon directly strengthens currents due to thermohaline circulation?

A)Polar region sea ice formation
B)Equatorial solar irradiance decline
C)Upper-atmosphere CO₂ concentration decrease
D)Reduction of continental glacial mass

💡 Explanation

Sea ice formation, by excluding salt from water, increases the density causing sinking; this accelerates thermohaline circulation because density differences drive it downward, therefore strengthening currents, rather than decreased irradiance, upper-atmosphere CO₂ or reduced glacial mass.
