Answer:

Global warming results in increased rainfall in the North Atlantic, and the melting of glaciers and sea ice, the influx of warm freshwater onto the sea surface could block the formation of sea ice, disrupting the sinking of cold, salty water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ocean currents and broader circulations move vast amounts of water around the world, redistributing heat and energy, and helping regulate the global climate. This conveyor brings warm water northward in the western North Atlantic and actually contributes slightly to the Gulf Stream.

hope this helps <3
