Ocean currents are major heat distribution mechanisms for the planet and thus have a large impact on regional climate. Of the fo

Coral bleaching releasing carbonate into the water

Increased whale harvests removing radiant loss from mammals

Melting of Greenland ice sheets

Addition of salt run-off from salinized Middle Eastern soil

Answer:

Melting of Greenland ice sheets

Explanation:

The thermohaline circling is affected by the melting of Greenland ice sheets because freshwater is added to the Atlantic ocean, this will in-turn affect the salinity of the water because it will decrease.

As a result, the water will become less dense, hence, the thermohaline circulation cannot be formed because the water cannot sink below.

PLZ HURY ON A TIMER Which statements explain what happens at deep-ocean trenches? Check all that apply.
Marat540 [252]
The answer are: mountains are formed, crust become molten rock and denser plates slides under lighter plates.

Let's look into the options one by one:

Crust is formed.

-This is in correct.

-At the ocean trench, plates subducts and were destroyed. No process of construction occurs as it is located at a destructive plate boundary.

Mountains are formed.

- This is correct.

- As it is located in the destructive plate bondary, two plates collide and create compressional force. The lighter continential will be compressed and foldes up to form fold mountains. One of the examples is the Rocky Mountain.

Seafloor spreading occurs.

-This is incorrect.

- Seafloor spreading occurs at constructive plate boundaries, however ocean trench occurs at destructive plate boudary and thus seafloor spreading does not take place.

Crust becomes molten rock.

- This is correct.

- When ocean trench is formed, denser oceanic plate subducts under the less dense continental plate and meets the hot magma. The crust material will then melt under high temperature and become molten rock.

Denser plates slide under lighter plates.

- This is correct.

- At deep ocean trenches, denser oceanic plate slide under the lighter continential plate as it is located the destructive plate boundary.

It might not be on time, but I hope it helps explain the question. :)
