Which outcome primarily occurs from downwelling's cascading effect in oceanic currents?

💡 Explanation

Reduced deep water oxygen levels will be seen in areas with strong downwelling. This stratification traps low-oxygen water at depth via advection, because it prevents vertical mixing and therefore, the bottom layer's oxygen depletion increases rather than oxygenated water being delivered.
