Which seasonal weather consequence results when the Coriolis effect weakens?

💡 Explanation

Reduced Coriolis force weakens gyre circulation, which decreases pressure gradients that drive upwelling; therefore coastal upwelling becomes less intense. Rather than the other options, the gyres are strongest near the surface because of Ekman transport.
