← GeographyWhich 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.
