Which risk increases when glacial meltwater streams accelerate?

💡 Explanation

Methane hydrates destabilize because increasing meltwater discharge into streams warms sediments, inducing methane release; this is positive feedback, therefore climate forcing increases rather than ocean circulation stabilizing or tectonic shifts accelerating.
