Which outcome occurs when anticyclonic conditions persist over subtropical ocean regions?

A)Reduced river nutrient upwelling zones
B)Intensified deep ocean carbon sequestration
C)Increased stream erosion from rainfall
D)Greater atmospheric dust deposition inland

💡 Explanation

Reduced river nutrient upwelling occurs, caused by *Ekman transport* suppressing coastal upwelling; because surface waters move offshore rather than nearshore, therefore nutrients from the deep ocean become less available rather than deeper sequestration of surface carbon.
