Which outcome results when equatorial Pacific upwelling weakens?

💡 Explanation

Warmer surface waters accumulate because diminished upwelling reduces nutrient transport and heat dispersal, influencing the thermocline via **convection**. Therefore increased thermocline depth occurs rather than causing stronger trade winds or shifts toward a La Niña event.
