← GeographyWhich outcome is directly amplified when a coastal gyre weakens?
A)Increased marine heatwave persistence✓
B)Decreased coastal sediment transport
C)Enhanced coastal fog dispersal
D)Reduced offshore wind intensity
💡 Explanation
Increased marine heatwave persistence occurs because reduced gyre circulation impairs heat redistribution, magnifying local warming; therefore, the persistence rises rather than declining as reduced energy disperses less effectively than when gyres are unaffected.
