Which outcome results from increased coastal upwelling near arid desert regions bordering the ocean?

💡 Explanation

When upwelling increases, colder water surfaces, cooling the air and increasing humidity, because warmer air holding more moisture encounters cooler sea surface temperatures, promoting condensation offshore, creating intense fog. Therefore, fog forms more frequently which happens rather than monsoon increase, erosion rates accelerating, or algal blooms decreasing, requiring different processes.
