Which effect accompanies prolonged decreased trade winds near Peru?

💡 Explanation

Reduced trade winds diminish Ekman transport, weakening coastal upwelling. This prevents nutrient-rich deep water from reaching the surface; therefore, productivity declines severely, rather than spurring biological proliferation or altering unrelated thermal activity.

• Which increased hazard accompanies building roads atop discontinuous permafrost regions?
• Which risk increases when seismic waves encounter a soil layer with high pore water pressure during an earthquake?
• Which outcome occurs when coastal upwelling weakens during ENSO?
• Which consequence results when increased precipitation saturates soils overlying shale bedrock?
• Which outcome results when prevailing winds consistently refract toward headlands?
