GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Winds blowing across the ocean surface push water away. Water then rises up from beneath the surface to replace the water that was pushed away. This process is known as “upwelling.” Upwelling occurs in the open ocean and along coastlines.

Detailed explanation-2: -The horizontal and vertical motions are common in ocean water bodies. The horizontal motion refers to the ocean currents and waves. The vertical motion refers to tides. Ocean currents are the continuous flow of huge amount of water in a definite direction while the waves are the horizontal motion of water.

Detailed explanation-3: -AN UPWELLING moves water vertically from the surface to deeper parts of the ocean. Density currents are caused by density changes, which are brought on by changes in temperature or WIND. The oceans are the major source of moisture for THE WATER CYCLE.

Detailed explanation-4: -Upwelling is most common along the west coast of continents (eastern sides of ocean basins). In the Northern Hemisphere, upwelling occurs along west coasts (e.g., coasts of California, Northwest Africa) when winds blow from the north (causing Ekman transport of surface water away from the shore).

Detailed explanation-5: -Winds blowing across the ocean surface often push water away from an area. When this occurs, water rises up from beneath the surface to replace the diverging surface water. This process is known as upwelling.
