Which nutrient change will develop within landlocked ocean gyres?

A)Increased stratification reduces nutrient upwelling
B)Decreased biological pump enriches ocean floor
C)Enhanced deepwater formation removes surface nutrients
D)Elevated evaporation increases nutrient concentration

💡 Explanation

Increased stratification will result from the gyre's temperature variation; the mechanism is density difference slowing vertical mixing because colder, denser water remains at lower depths, therefore, reduced nutrient mixing, rather than upwelling, happens.
