What is a process in which cold nutrientrich water from the deep ocean rises to the surface and replaces warm surface water?

Nothing very exciting happens because as the cold water would rise it would push the warm water down. This would cause the cold water to heat up and the warm water to cool off. This creates a cycle of cooling and warming.

How does the process of upwelling affect the distribution of life in the ocean?
The water brought to the surface by upwelling tends to be richer in nutrients than the water it replaces--more nutrients, more life.

What is the process of upwelling?
Upwelling in biology is the process in which nutrient rich soil that is located deeper in the ocean rises to the surface due to ocean currents and winds. This is important because it allows the organisms living at the surface to get their needed nutriends
An increase in wind causes this current to increase What type of current is it?
Convection is the process that causes warm air to rise and cold air to sink. As such, the winds caused by this process are called convection currents.
