<span>D. wind, friction, and the Coriolis Effect

The result of the spiral effect (wind / Coriolis Effect) is that movement of water is perpendicular to wind direction. An Ekman spiral is the result of the wind / Coriolis Effect. It is a rotating column of water that forms when water moves at an angle to the wind direction due to the Coriolis Effect. It occurs as a consequence of the Coriolis Effect. When water molecules on the surface are moved by the wind, they drag deeper layers of water molecules below them.</span>

The statement is true. Dead zones are the zones of oxygen depletion, which is caused by excessive running off of the fertilizers into the water body. These chemicals, particularly the nitrates, which are used by algae etc. which bloom by using the nitrates and use the oxygen present in the water. When they die, oxygen levels become critically low till then, for other aquatic animals like fishes etc., to survive.
