Upwellings occur when winds push surface water away from the coast, allowing deeper, nutrient-rich waters to rise and replace the displaced water. This typically happens along Coastlines, where surface water is moved by winds or ocean currents. Upwellings are important for providing nutrients for marine life and can occur seasonally or due to specific oceanographic conditions.
What else can I help you with?
Is there any place or time that tornadoes do not occur?
Yes. Tornadoes do not occur in Antarctica and likely do no occur in parts of the Arctic and in areas of extreme desert. There are many other regions that are cold or arid that tornadoes occur, but are extremely rare.
Thunderlightingwindand rain occur in which which of earth ospheres?
Thunder, lightning, wind, and rain occur in the Earth's atmosphere.
In what layer of the atmosphere do tornadoes and hurricanes occur?
Tornadoes occur in the lower atmosphere, specifically in the troposphere, which is the lowest layer of the atmosphere where weather events typically occur. Hurricanes occur slightly higher up in the troposphere, usually in the lower part of the troposphere where the conditions are conducive for their formation.
What is the name of the kind of motion that causes an earthquake?
The kind of motion that causes an earthquake is called faulting, which occurs when there is sudden movement along a fault line in the Earth's crust. This movement releases stored energy in the form of seismic waves, leading to an earthquake.
What is the most powerful natural disaster that can occur?
The most powerful natural disaster that can occur is a super volcano eruption.
Where do upwellings occur?
the ocean
Where do upwellings occu?
Upwellings typically occur in coastal regions and along ocean currents where winds push surface waters away, allowing deeper, nutrient-rich waters to rise to the surface. They are commonly found along the western coasts of continents, such as the Pacific coasts of North and South America. Upwellings also occur at the equator due to the divergence of trade winds and in areas where ocean currents converge. These regions support high biological productivity and are vital for marine ecosystems.
Upwellings are special ocean currents that are?
vertical
What cause the abundance of availible food in the fundy bay?
Upwellings
Phytoplankton feed on the nutrients brought up by this type of deep cold water current?
Upwellings
Do plate boundaries cause volcanoes?
Not per-Se, but plates pulling apart AND plates being overridden do cause magma upwellings.
Hotspot volcanoes occur along subduction zones?
False. Hotspot volcanoes form above mantle plumes, which are localized upwellings of hot mantle material. Subduction zone volcanoes form due to the subduction of one tectonic plate beneath another, resulting in magma generation due to the melting of the subducted plate.
What are upwellings and down welling how do they form and how do they affect fisheries?
Upwellings are oceanic processes where deeper, nutrient-rich waters rise to the surface, often occurring along coastlines where winds push surface water away. This influx of nutrients supports high productivity, benefiting fisheries by increasing fish populations. Conversely, downwellings occur when surface waters, often warmer and less nutrient-rich, sink, leading to reduced biological productivity in those areas. Both processes significantly influence the distribution and abundance of marine life, affecting fishing yields and ecosystem health.
How would upwellings contribute to the fishing industry of various nations?
Upwellings in the oceans are associated with the bringing of very nutrient-rich waters to the surface. Those nutrients are the base of a food chain that includes fish. Areas of upwelling are usually extremely prolific fisheries.
Plumes of the molten rock originating deep within the mantle are known as?
Mantle plumes. These are hot upwellings of magma from the Earth's mantle that can cause volcanic activity on the surface, such as hotspot volcanoes like those in Hawaii.
