Which outcome occurs when coastal upwelling exceeds normal limits?

A)Harmful algal bloom intensification
B)Decreased ocean carbon sequestration
C)Increased marine snow production
D)Enhanced coral reef development

💡 Explanation

Intense upwelling brings excessive nutrients to the surface that can trigger a rapid increase in algae; this is eutrophication because it leads to harmful algal blooms consuming available oxygen, therefore algal blooms intensify, rather than a bloom dying off due to lack up nutrients.
