← GeographyWhich outcome enhances global heat transfer due to ocean upwelling?
A)Increased surface water evaporation rates✓
B)Stratified thermocline layer formation
C)Suppressed deep water convection
D)Reduced phytoplankton photosynthesis activity
💡 Explanation
Elevated surface evaporation rates transfer heat to the atmosphere because of latent heat flux; therefore, enhanced evaporation increases global heat transfer, rather than suppressing convection that isolates surface and deep layers or reducing photosynthesis which lowers initial energy captured.
