Answer:

adding huge amounts of less dense fresh water to the surface of the North Atlantic

Explanation:

Greenland is an area that has been heavily impacted by the process called melting. This process allows the ice caps to melt, adding a large amount of water from the ice to the oceans, which has a strong impact on other natural processes and environments around the world. Among the impacts caused by the rapid melting of the Greenland ice caps, we can mention the interruption of deep water formation in the North Atlantic. This is because, the ice caps are formed by fresh water, when they melt, a large volume of fresh water is added on the surface of the North Atlantic. Fresh water is less dense than salt water and this causes it to accumulate on the surface and push the salt water to the bottom.
