← GeographyWhich outcome occurs when a coastal upwelling zone intersects with the anticyclonic rotation of an oceanic gyre under intensified trade winds?
A)Increased coastal nutrient stratification
B)Decreased deep-water hypoxic zone extent
C)Enhanced formation of red tide blooms✓
D)Suppressed development of coastal eddies
💡 Explanation
Enhanced formation of red tide blooms results because upwelling brings nutrients to the surface combined with gyre concentration; algal blooms develop. Therefore, option C is amplified, rather than stratification (A), hypoxic decrease (B), or suppressed eddy formation (D).
