Which outcome results in coastal regions during increased intensity of subtropical high-pressure cells?

💡 Explanation

Strengthened high-pressure cells intensify the pressure gradient promoting Ekman transport, driving offshore surface water which is replaced by deeper, nutrient-rich waters because of coastal upwelling; therefore increased marine productivity, rather than diminished upwelling or coastal erosion rate increase results.
