Question

If thermohaline circulation were blocked, perhaps by plate tectonics, what would happen?

A). Nothing would change.
B). Global climate would be significantly affected.
C). Coastal areas would warm up.
D). There would be an increase in precipitation.

Answer 1

Generally, plate tectonics causes a change in the ocean currents and in turn generates more heat. When these tectonic plates shift, the creation of the volcanic eruptions increases the degree of carbon dioxide (CO2) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) in the atmosphere

C). Coastal areas would warm up
