← GeographyWhich consequence results when subtropical gyre intensification increases?
A)Enhanced coastal upwelling divergence results✓
B)Equatorial current strength diminishes rapidly
C)Thermocline depth shallows significantly worldwide
D)Decreased deep water formation occurs now
💡 Explanation
Coastal upwelling increases because Ekman transport intensifies from stronger gyre winds; therefore nutrient-rich deep waters rise, rather than deeper thermoclines forming due to gyre-driven convergence, or impacting equatorial or deep water trends directly.
