What else can I help you with?
What is the rising of nutrient-rich water from deep in the ocean called?
Upwelling
What is the vertical section of the ocean from the surface to the ocean floor referred to as?
This section of the ocean from floor to surface is called the water column.
What is a movement of ocean water that forms far below the surface of the ocean called?
The water that forms far below the surface is called a Deep Current.
Streamlike movements of water at or near the surface of the ocean are called?
Stream like movements of water that occur near the surface of the ocean are called surface currents. Stream like movements of ocean water far below the surface are known as a deep current.
The rising and lowering of ocean water is called the?
high tides and low tides
The rising of cold water from deeper layers to replace warmer surface water is called .?
upwelling
What are seamounts?
A seamount is a mountain rising from the ocean seafloor that does not reach to the water's surface (sea level), and thus is not an island.
The water covering the surface of the earth?
is called the "ocean".
What is the name of the process where rising cold water from deeper layers replaces warmer surface water?
The process is called upwelling. It occurs when winds push surface water away from the coast, which allows deeper, colder water to rise and replace the displaced water. Upwelling brings nutrients from the ocean floor to the surface, supporting marine life.
What is the process of the ocean's water slowly rising to reach high tide is called?
Flood tide is when the ocean's water slowly rises to reach high tide.
The rising of cold water from deeper layers to replace warmer surface water is called?
Streamlike movements of water that occur at or near the surface are called surface currents. So logically, a deep current are streamlike movements of water that flow very slowly along the ocean floor.
What is the boundary between the warmer surface water and colder ocean water called?
Thermal Layer
