Which spatial outcome results when trade winds approach continental landmasses?

A)Rain shadows form leeward slopes
B)Coastal upwelling zones develop
C)Deep ocean currents are intensified
D)Geothermal vent formation subsides

💡 Explanation

Coastal upwelling occurs because the trade winds, influenced by the Coriolis effect, drive surface water offshore. Therefore, nutrient-rich water rises to replace it, rather than rain shadows which depend on orographic lift from mountains.
