AMOC is a global "conveyor belt" transporting warm surface water north and cold, dense water south. Driven by temperature and salinity, it regulates global climate. Melting ice now threatens to collapse this system, potentially disrupting the Indian Monsoon.

This creates stratification that traps heat, blocks nutrients, harms fisheries, may weaken AMOC, and heighten cyclones and marine heatwaves.
