Which outcome is promoted by intensified subtropical gyre circulation?

A)Coastal upwelling zone expansion
B)Decreased carbon sequestration rates
C)Equatorial current weakening trend
D)Enhanced abyssal plain sedimentation

💡 Explanation

Intensified gyre circulation causes stronger coastal upwelling, because increased surface water divergence pulls deep, nutrient-rich water towards the coasts. Therefore, upwelling zone expansion is promoted, rather than declining sequestration or effects on abyssal plains, because these depend on other mechanisms.
