Which outcome is most likely downstream when unusually strong Benguela upwelling occurs off Namibia?

💡 Explanation

When unusually strong Benguela upwelling occurs, nutrient-rich water surges to the surface because strong offshore winds displace surface water, leading to excessive phytoplankton blooms. Therefore extensive red tide blooms are likely, rather than benefiting wind power, coral, or fog, which require alternative conditions.
