Which outcome results due to the Coriolis effect driving gyre formation?

💡 Explanation

Equatorial currents are deflected, resulting in oceanic upwelling along coasts because the Coriolis effect deflects moving water masses. Therefore, upwelling increases coastal productivity, rather than currents preventing ice melt or influencing thermohaline circulation.
