Question

How would an upwelling current increase the abundance of aquatic organisms?

A) upwelling brings cold, nutrient poor water to the surface, which would decrease the abundance of aquatic organisms.

B) upwelling brings cold, nutrient-rich water to the surface, which allows for an increase in aquatic organisms.

C) upwelling brings warm, nutrient-rich water to the surface, which allows for an increase in aquatic organisms.

Answer 2

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Upwelling can be defined as an oceanographic phenomenon in which wind driven motion of dense, nutrient rich, cooler water moves towards the surface of ocean which replaces the nutrient deficient water is replaced.

The nutrient rich water helps in the increasing the growth of the aquatic organism in water.

The nutrient in water allows the plankton to make food at the surface and food is eaten by other organism which helps in a healthier population.
