Which consequence typically follows decreased offshore wind intensity?

A)Reduced coastal upwelling strength
B)Increased methane clathrate formation
C)Greater coastal erosion protection
D)Intensified thermohaline current downwelling

💡 Explanation

Reduced offshore wind lessens Ekman transport, because this interaction induces upwelling. Therefore, less wind causes diminished nutrient supply at coasts, rather than greater clathrate formation, erosion protection, or intensified downwelling, because different dynamics cause them.
