Which outcome follows strengthened trade winds in the Pacific?

💡 Explanation

Intensified trade winds drive stronger surface currents westward, enhancing Ekman transport. This amplifies upwelling along the coasts of the Americas because it pulls more deep, nutrient-rich water upwards. Therefore increased upwelling occurs rather than the other options affecting deep water formation.
