What is upwelling for science

Geography
2 answers:
grigory [225]4 years ago

Answer:

Upwelling is<u> a process in which deep, cold water rises toward the surface</u>. How displaced surface waters are replaced by cold, nutrient-rich water that “wells up” from below. Conditions are optimal for upwelling along the coast when winds blow along the shore. Winds blowing across the ocean surface push water away.

Explanation:

Upwelling is an oceanographic phenomenon that involves wind-driven motion of dense, cooler, and usually nutrient-rich water towards the ocean surface, replacing the warmer, usually nutrient-depleted surface water. The nutrient-rich upwelled water stimulates the growth and reproduction of primary producers such as phytoplankton.

Chapter 6 problem: What is the damage one can expect from a catastrophic hurricane? Give a detailed list from your text.
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

-Homes destroyed

-Fallen trees and power poles

-Power outages

-Uninhabitable area

Explanation:

The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale is a 1 to 5 rating based on a hurricane's sustained wind speed, which is useful to estimates the potential property damage. From category 3 and higher, we consider them major hurricanes because of their potential for significant loss of life and damage.

Category 4 (209-251 km/h) and category (252 km/h or higher) hurricanes can cause catastrophic damages, <em>these include high percentage of framed homes will be destroyed (total roof failure and wall collapse), fallen trees and power poles will isolate residential areas, power outages that last for weeks to months and most of the area will be uninhabitable for weeks or months.</em>

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
