← GeographyWhich climate outcome strongly correlates to El Niño?
A)Pacific upwelling decline sharply✓
B)Strengthened North Atlantic gyre flow
C)Enhanced circum-Antarctic current speeds
D)Increased Arctic sea ice formation rate
💡 Explanation
A weakened trade wind promotes downwelling because reduced surface water divergence lowers nutrient availability; therefore, nutrient transport decreases, rather than increased gyre flow which related to Coriolis and wind forcing changes.
