Which pattern results when trade winds approach continental coastlines?

💡 Explanation

Coastal upwelling happens because the Coriolis effect deflects surface waters offshore as trade winds approach, creating a void. This induces upwelling, rather than gyre formation, due to Ekman transport which is the integrated water movement.
