Answer and Explanation:
In case, the major ocean currents stops or slows down, the heat distribution on the Earth will be affected in the following ways:
- There would be quite significant climatic changes.
- It affects one of the major phenomena in the ocean , the thermohaline circulation of the ocean which is responsible for the supply of heat to the polar areas.
- Heat distribution is affected in such a way that keeps the warm water of the equatorial region remains in the same region and can not delivered to the polar areas.
- This phenomena results in more heat in the equatorial region and colder polar areas.
