Which outcome occurs when trade winds approach equatorial continents?

💡 Explanation

Coastal upwelling occurs because trade winds drive surface water offshore, then the Coriolis effect deflects it towards the left in the southern hemisphere and towards coast in the northern hemisphere, therefore nutrient rich bottom water rises fostering biological productivity, rather than a decrease in salinity, because upwelling of high saline water maintains it.
