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.
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.
Thunder, lightning, wind, and rain occur in the Earth's atmosphere.
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.
The most powerful natural disaster that can occur is a super volcano eruption.
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.

Not per-Se, but plates pulling apart AND plates being overridden do cause magma upwellings.
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.
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.
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.
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.
