Question

Which event typically causes upwelling? (10 Points)

A. Wind blows warm water away from the shore.
B. Warm water rises to the surface of the ocean.
C. Neap tides move cold water away from the shore.
D. Cold waterfalls to the bottom of the ocean and pushes warm water up.

Answer 1

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditions are optimal for upwelling along the coast when winds blow along the shore. Winds blowing across the ocean surface push water away. Water then rises up from beneath the surface to replace the water that was pushed away. This process is known as “upwelling.”
