Which process causes increased coastal upwelling on the eastern boundary of subtropical gyres?

💡 Explanation

When winds blow along the eastern gyre boundary, Ekman transport causes surface water to move offshore due to the Coriolis effect because of the wind stress, leading to upwelling. Therefore upwelling results rather than heating, subduction, or salinity changes which have different effects on coastal water dynamics.

• Which risk increases when building foundations sit atop liquefiable soil deposits during an earthquake?
• Which risk markedly increases as transform fault blockages prevent fault creep?
• Which weathering product accumulates from convergent plate subduction?
• Which effect intensifies when warm airflow experiences persistent curvature?
• Which pattern develops because strike-slip fault motion locks temporarily along section transform plate boundaries?
• Which outcome occurs when upper tropospheric winds accelerate due to temperature differences across Hadley cell boundaries?
