Which climate outcome occurs when intensifying subtropical gyres expand poleward?

A)Increased coastal desertification nearby
B)Strengthened equatorial counter-currents form
C)Weakened coastal upwelling occurs instead
D)Reduced deep ocean nutrient influx

💡 Explanation

Expanding subtropical gyres cause increased coastal desertification because the Hadley cell circulation change suppresses rainfall, leading to arid conditions in adjacent regions via atmospheric subsidence, therefore less precipitation, rather than increased rainfall or effects on equatorial currents.
