← GeographyWhich outcome results to coastal ecosystems when geostrophic flow weakens?
A)Reduced transport in nutrient distribution✓
B)Increased coastal erosion sediment transport
C)Enhanced local species reproduction rate
D)Decreased water temperature density difference
💡 Explanation
Reduced geostrophic flow reduces gyre driven redistribution, because the driving force for transport weakens diminishing their physical influence on water masses; therefore nutrient and dissolved oxygen delivery decreases, rather than an increase of coastline interaction.
