← GeographyWhich pattern results because deep ocean currents deflect?
A)Development Antarctic Circumpolar Wave propagation✓
B)Creation underwater super-saturation cold spots
C)Intensification coastal upwelling water overturn
D)Decreased equatorial thermocline layer thickness
💡 Explanation
The Antarctic Circumpolar Wave develops because the current's deflection is due to the Coriolis effect generated by interaction of Earth's rotation and water mass distribution; therefore, wave propagation results, rather than isolated upwelling intensification.
