Which consequence results when increased trade wind intensity enhances coastal upwelling?

💡 Explanation

When trade winds intensify, enhanced coastal upwelling occurs as surface waters are driven offshore promoting deeper, nutrient-rich waters to rise because of Ekman transport, fueling phytoplankton growth. Therefore, increased primary productivity occurs, rather than decreased salinity, stratification reduction, or enhanced erosion, all requiring different conditions.
