Which outcome is amplified because of the Ekman spiral effect within deep coastal waters?

A)Increased upwelling of nutrient-rich water
B)Reduced thermocline destabilization events
C)Enhanced deep-water coral calcification
D)Decreased benthic oxygen concentration

💡 Explanation

Increased upwelling leads to a rise with nutrient water; this action experiences spiral motion because it follows the Coriolis force's cumulative effect along the water column known as Ekman transport. Therefore, upwelling is amplified, rather than something unrelated.
