← GeographyWhich outcome increases when subtropical gyre currents weaken?
A)Coastal upwelling intensity diminishes✓
B)Deep ocean salinity stratification lessens
C)Surface nutrient concentration decreases
D)Sea surface temperatures become uniform
💡 Explanation
Decreased gyre circulation reduces transport into localized upwelling zones, because Eckman transport weakens; therefore coastal upwelling diminishes, rather than increased nutrients from the seafloor flowing into surface waters because of greater current power.
