← GeographyWhich impact results when large-scale ocean eddies detach?
A)Lateral momentum transfer modification✓
B)Decreased surface oxygen concentration
C)Accelerated coastal erosion rates
D)Uniform global plankton distribution
💡 Explanation
Lateral momentum transfer changes when ocean eddies detach, influencing ocean gyre structure. The Coriolis effect deflects moving water, setting eddy paths; therefore eddy separation laterally moves momentum, rather than uniformly distributing plankton because transport is localized.
