Which water mass modification results within subtropical gyres?

A)Increased salinity due to high evaporation
B)Decreased nutrient concentration from upwelling
C)Elevated temperature due to polar influence
D)Reduced dissolved oxygen from phytoplankton blooms

💡 Explanation

Increased salinity results because high solar radiation causes enhanced evaporation in these regions; this process concentrates salts via the mechanism of surface evaporation. Therefore, salinity increases, rather than nutrient declines or temperature shifts occurring, which are driven by different oceanic processes.
