Which consequence results when surface water convergence intensifies within subtropical gyres?

💡 Explanation

Increased surface water convergence enhances downwelling; therefore, nutrient-rich deeper waters cannot upwell because downwelling physically suppresses 'Ekman transport', rather than driving upwelling or altering overall sea temperatures.
