Ocean upwelling can happen along the coast as wind pushes warm water away from the coast. How else can upwelling occur?

Question

(1 point)

A. from the fast movement of the loop current

B. from the ocean water becoming too acidic

C. from waves hitting the coast at a sharp angle

D. from the Coriolis effect at the equator

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

C. from waves hitting the coast at a sharp angle.

This can cause water to move away from the coast, which can lead to upwelling as deeper, cooler water rises to replace it.
