With Advancing Global Warming One Expects

Question

With advancing global warming one expects
A) Decreased stratification in the open sea
B) More upwelling
C) Increased stratification
D) Decreased storm activity

Accepted Answer

Increased stratification is expected with advancing global warming because warmer surface temperatures lead to a more distinct separation between warmer surface waters and cooler, deeper waters. This reduces the mixing of water layers, leading to increased stratification.
