Which climate pattern change occurs when equatorial upwelling weakens?

A)Decreased coastal primary productivity
B)Increased water column stratification
C)Strengthened prevailing trade winds
D)More intense coastal fog formation

💡 Explanation

Reduced upwelling limits nutrient transport, therefore coastal productivity declines because limited nutrients restrict phytoplankton growth through nutrient limitation, rather than increased stability or wind changes.
