← GeographyWhich risk increases when glacial outflow enters warmer seawater?
A)Increased thermohaline circulation stratification✓
B)Decreased coastal erosion potential
C)Enhanced phytoplankton bloom occurrence
D)Diminished coastal upwelling momentum
💡 Explanation
Increased stratification occurs because freshwater input reduces surface density, therefore slowing down the *thermohaline circulation*, rather than accelerating upwelling, since localized glacial melt does not enhance nutrient availability substantially.
