How does upwelling affect the distribution of nutrients of the ocean?
Upwelling brings up tiny ocean organisms, minerals, and other nutrients from the deeper layers of the water. Without this motion, the surface waters of the open ocean would be very scarce in nutrients.
Do deep ocean currents and surface currents mix?
Deep ocean currents and surface currents do interact and influence each other. While they flow at different depths and have different driving factors (wind for surface currents and density for deep currents), they are connected through the global ocean circulation system. Changes in one can impact the other over time.
How does El Niño affect ocean productivity?
El Niño significantly impacts ocean productivity by altering oceanic conditions such as temperature, currents, and nutrient availability. During an El Niño event, warmer surface waters can inhibit upwelling, a process that brings nutrient-rich deep waters to the surface, leading to decreased productivity in affected regions. This disruption can result in reduced fish populations and affect the entire marine food web. Consequently, ecosystems and fisheries that rely on these productive waters may experience declines, impacting local economies and food sources.
What is the Temperature of gulf water 1 mile deep?
The temperature of the deep seas is -1°c to 4°c. It's near freezing. Saltwater freezes at -1.8°c.
What ocean is located at 15N 60W?
The coordinates 15°N 60°W are located in the Atlantic Ocean. This area is situated to the east of the Caribbean Sea and northeast of South America. It is part of the open ocean, characterized by deep waters and is far from landmasses.
What is a deep current-?
Deep current is a movement of the ocean water. The ocean waters current is continuous.
How much of the ocean's water is part of the deep waters?
90%
How does upwelling affect the distribution of nutrients of the ocean?
Upwelling brings up tiny ocean organisms, minerals, and other nutrients from the deeper layers of the water. Without this motion, the surface waters of the open ocean would be very scarce in nutrients.
The deep waters of the ocean are?
poor in oxygen and rich in carbon dioxide
What are the deep ocean currents?
These currents make up 90% of the ocean waters.These waters move around the ocean basins due to variations in the density and gravity.Deep waters sinks into the deep ocean basins at high latitudes , where the temperatures are cold enough to cause the density to increase.
Where do the giant squids spend there time?
They seem to live in deep ocean waters.
Where would you find the coldest saltiest waters in the oceans?
Deep Ocean Zones
Why are very fossils found in rocks made from sediment that laid down in deep ocean waters?
Isn't it, " Why are very FEW fossils found in rocks made from sediment that laid down in deep ocean waters?"and i thought you would know.
Can Marine Life still exist in the deep sea?
depends on how deep but there is marine life almost anywhere in the salty waters of the ocean.
How do deep current affect the oceans?
It can affect it because of how deep the current the more you go out in the ocean the more it gets deeper
Are wind-driven currents found near the surface of the ocean or in the deep waters of oceans?
surface
When a submarine expolres the ocean bottom what type of currents affect it?
deep ocean currents.
