Which outcome commonly occurs as rising sea temperatures change thermal stratification near island coasts?

💡 Explanation

Increased sea temperatures sharpen stratification producing density differences that intensify upwelling currents along coasts because the thermocline becomes a strong boundary driving the process, therefore enhancing upwelling and nutrient supply, rather than decreasing erosion which involves wave action independently.
