Which outcome occurs when an oceanic eddy detaches from major gyres?

💡 Explanation

Localized dispersal of nutrients occurs, driven by eddy shedding. Detachment disruptively mixes nutrient-rich areas nearby because the mechanism driving the motion is eddy diffusion, therefore nutrient patches break up rather than causing global changes in temperature.
