← GeographyWhich outcome is intensified by increased Equatorial upwelling during La Niña?
A)Deep ocean nutrient concentration✓
B)Tropical cyclone formation frequency
C)Widespread coastal flooding events
D)Global mean surface temperatures
💡 Explanation
La Niña strengthens upwelling, which increases the concentration of nutrient-rich deep ocean waters at the surface via advection, because reduced thermocline depth brings up nutrients. Therefore, nutrient concentration increases, rather than decreasing temperatures or causing flooding that characterizes El Niño.
