← GeographyWhich outcome results when deep ocean upwelling stalls?
A)Deoxygenation zones experience lateral expansion✓
B)Surface salinity temporarily has a decline
C)Increased coastal bio-diversity occurs rapidly
D)Thermocline collapses entirely near poles
💡 Explanation
Deoxygenation zones experience substantial lateral expansion, because *nutrient limitation* prevents surface phytoplankton blooms; therefore, less oxygen enters the water, rather than increased biodiversity due to oxygen deprivation near coasts.
