Which outcome occurs when major ocean gyres stall?

A)Decreased nutrient upwelling shifts localized ecosystems
B)Increased coastal erosion from rogue waves
C)Elevated deep-sea temperatures overwhelm species
D)More frequent, disruptive volcanic eruptions

💡 Explanation

Decreased nutrient upwelling shifts localized ecosystems because gyre circulation drives the upward movement of nutrient-rich deep water via Ekman transport. This supplies surface ecosystems; therefore, diminished currents create lower surface nutrients, rather than other climate-wide phenomena.
