Which thermohaline consequence would increased glacial melt cause?

💡 Explanation

Increased glacial melt adds freshwater, which reduces density, and therefore suppresses the `conveyor belt` circulation because less dense water resists sinking; rather than upwelling, sediment transport, or oxygen depletion, which depend on other drivers.
