Which outcome accelerates coastal erosion within ocean gyres?

A)Wind-driven Ekman transport convergence
B)Increased thermocline stratification stability
C)Reduced nutrient upwelling strength
D)Enhanced sediment deposition rate

💡 Explanation

Ekman transport causes surface water to converge in the gyre centers, increasing sea level and wave heights; because higher waves amplify erosion, convergence therefore accelerates coastal erosion driven by wave energy, rather than reduced upwelling which would lessen biological weathering.
