Which consequence results when increased offshore Ekman transport?

💡 Explanation

Increased offshore Ekman transport causes divergence of surface waters. This divergence leads to increased coastal upwelling, drawing nutrient-rich water upward, because this replaces surface water deficit; therefore, upwelling increases, rather than salinity changes or geostrophic effects.
