What brings greater concentration of dissolved nutrients to the ocean floor?

Answer:

Upwelling is described as the process when cold water rises up from the deeper layer of a water body to replace the warmer surface water. Hence, upwelling brings greater concentrations of dissolved nutrients like- nitrates and phosphates, to the ocean surface.
