← GeographyWhich risk increases when anticyclonic ocean gyre circulation weakens?
A)Increased coastal upwelling intensity
B)Nutrient redistribution imbalance appears✓
C)Enhanced deep ocean stratification
D)Decreased sea surface temperature variation
💡 Explanation
Reduced gyre circulation decreases vertical mixing (upwelling) within the ocean, therefore nutrient redistribution becomes imbalanced, because upwelling helps redistribute nutrients; rather than increased upwelling intensity that is driven by the circulation.
