← GeographyWhich climatic effect weakens near South America during El Niño?
A)Coastal upwelling nutrient delivery✓
B)Tropical cyclone storm intensity
C)Stratospheric ozone later thickness
D)Jet stream polar cell stability
💡 Explanation
Coastal upwelling weakens during El Niño because the Walker circulation weakens, reducing trade winds that normally drive upwelling; therefore, nutrient-rich waters are not brought to the surface, rather than intense storms which aren't directly determined, or ozone layer changes.
