← GeographyWhich outcome is triggered when coastal upwelling weakens seasonally?
A)Harmful algal bloom proliferation intensifies✓
B)Deep-ocean nutrient supply replenishment increases
C)Stratospheric ozone thinning rate accelerates
D)Submarine methane hydrate destabilization decreases
💡 Explanation
Algal blooms intensify because decreased upwelling reduces nutrient competition, therefore they dominate the plankton ecosystem, rather than ozone depletion, because upwelling primarily involves ocean chemistry interactions.
