Which outcome occurs because of increased runoff into subtropical gyres?

💡 Explanation

Enhanced runoff decreases density in surface layers forming strong haloclines, thereby increasing coastal thermohaline salinity stratification; this happens because freshwater input prevents vertical mixing from wind shear therefore hindering downward momentum of mixed layers rather than upwelling facilitation.
