← GeographyWhich nutrient distribution change occurs after gyre intensification?
A)Deeper upwelling brings cooler waters
B)Shallower mixing limits nutrient diffusion
C)Increased stratification reduces nutrient mixing✓
D)Decreased runoff causes coastal eutrophication
💡 Explanation
Increased gyre intensification causes increased stratification, because stronger circular flow prevents vertical mixing; therefore nutrient availability decreases in the upper layers, rather than increasing due to upwelling from lower layers.
