Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Water that rises to the surface as a result of upwelling is typically colder and is rich in nutrients. These nutrients “fertilize” surface waters, meaning that these surface waters often have high biological productivity. Therefore, good fishing grounds typically are found where upwelling is common.
Detailed explanation-2: -How would a large increase in the salinity of an estuary most likely affect the ecosystem of the estuary? The number of salt-tolerant organisms would increase, and the number of salt-intolerant organisms would decrease.
