Which effect accompanies prolonged decreased trade winds near Peru?

A)Reduced coastal upwelling of nutrient supply
B)Increased coastal erosion from storm surges
C)Intensified ocean heat removal by conduction
D)Strengthened thermocline layer formation offshore

💡 Explanation

Reduced trade winds diminish Ekman transport, weakening coastal upwelling. This prevents nutrient-rich deep water from reaching the surface; therefore, productivity declines severely, rather than spurring biological proliferation or altering unrelated thermal activity.
