Which effect on large-scale ocean currents arises in deep, narrow basins?

A)Intensified western boundary currents
B)Reduced equatorial upwelling strength
C)Reversal of thermohaline circulation
D)Expansion of anoxic dead zones

💡 Explanation

Western boundary currents intensify profoundly because the Coriolis effect deflects currents to the right in the Northern Hemisphere; therefore a strong current is focused in the western part of ocean basins, rather than distributed uniformly.
