Which explains upwelling in the oceans? A. Solar heating near the coastline heats cold surface water, which diffuses out to sea. Deeper, nutrient-rich, warm water flows upward to replace the surface water. B. Wind near the coastline blows warm surface water away from the land. Deeper, nutrient-rich, cold water flows upward to replace the surface water.
C. Solar heating near the coastline heats warm surface water, which diffuses out to sea. Deeper, nutrient-rich, cold water flows upward to replace the surface water. D. Coastal winds blow cold surface water out to sea. Deeper, nutrient-rich, warm water flows upward to replace the surface water. d?
No Upwelling is an oceanographic phenomenon that involves wind-driven motion of dense, cooler, and usually nutrient-rich water towards the ocean surface, replacing the warmer, usually nutrient-depleted surface water. The nutrient-rich upwelled water stimulates the growth and reproduction of primary producers such as phytoplankton. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upwelling
