Which chemical consequence results when North Pacific gyre slowdown?

A)Nutrient concentration decreases significantly
B)Upwelling events intensify rapidly
C)Deep ocean salinity sharply declines
D)Ocean acidification rates measurably lessen

💡 Explanation

Decreased flow diminishes vertical mixing and nutrient replenishment because the Sverdrup balance mechanism weakens, diminishing upwelling; therefore, surface nutrient concentration decreases, rather than local upwelling intensifying which requires continuous current flow.
