Which outcome is caused when coastal upwelling strengthens along the Peru coastline?

💡 Explanation

When upwelling strengthens, the mechanism of vertical watermass transport brings deep, cold water to the surface because the density difference influences ocean circulation, thus influencing local climate. Therefore cooler water temperatures result, rather than changing salinity, phosphorus, or air temperature, which do not correlate directly with increased upwelling.
