← GeographyWhich ocean gyre risk increases because of increased Coriolis effect?
A)Intensified Sargasso seaweed accumulation✓
B)Decreased surface water oxygen transport
C)Accelerated deep ocean current formation
D)Reduced upwelling nutrient availability
💡 Explanation
Intensified central ocean gyres increase Sargasso seaweed accumulation because the Coriolis effect concentrates floating material; therefore, greater seaweed accumulation will occur rather than impacting deep water formation or nutrient availability.
