Which outcome is directly enhanced after prolonged volcanic ash dispersal on a stable upwelling zone?

A)Increased local thermocline stratification
B)Enhanced marine primary productivity
C)Decreased surface water density
D)Declined coastal oxygen concentration

💡 Explanation

Marine primary productivity increases because volcanic ash provides iron, fueling phytoplankton growth via nutrient fertilization. This fertilization effect enhances the food web in the upwelling zone, rather than decreasing density or changing stratification.
