← GeographyWhich resulting pattern increases under-ice upwelling currents due to Ekman transport?
A)Increased latent heat flux reduction
B)Ice boom structural configuration
C)Sea ice motion spatial variation✓
D)Offshore pipeline thermal resistance
💡 Explanation
Spatial variation amplifies the Ekman transport, because differing ice speeds create areas of divergence, drawing water upwards. Thus, more upwelling occurs, rather than from heat variations or fixed undersea infrastructure.
