Which explains upwelling in the oceans?

Physics

Leokris [45]3 years ago

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. The reverse process, called “downwelling,” also occurs when wind causes surface water to build up along a coastline and the surface water eventually sinks toward the bottom.

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.

astraxan [27]

Answer:

It is possible to statically charge objects by rubbing it against carpet fibers, but I'm not sure if that was in the article that you read.

Explanation:

Static charge can build up via carpet fibers.

PLEASE HELP! 2ND TIME I ASKED THIS!!!
Goshia [24]

The train is moving at 50 m/s and Emma is walking down the aisle with 1 m/s speed in the same direction of train. The relative velocity of Emma with respect to other passengers pf the train would be 1 m/s. This is because, the train is not moving relative to them and only emma is moving at 1 m/s. If a person observes from outside, Emma would have (50 +1) m/s = 51 m/s velocity.

relative velocity when two objects are moving in same direction as oberved from outside observer:

v_{ab}=v_a+v_b

relative velocity when two objects are moving in the opposite directionas oberved from outside observer:

v_{ab}=v_a-v_b

Part A Determine the absolute pressure on the bottom of a swimming pool 30.0 m by 8.7 m whose uniform depth is 1.8 m . Express y
Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

17.66 kPa

Explanation:

The volume of water in the swimming pool is the product of its dimensions

V = 30 * 8.7 * 1.8 = 469.8 cubic meters

Let water density \rho = 1000 kg/m^3, and g = 9.81 m/s2 we can calculate the total weight of water in the swimming pool

W = mg = \rho V g = 1000 * 469.8 * 9.81 = 4608738 N

The area of the bottom

A = 30 * 8.7 = 261 square meters

Therefore the pressure is its force over unit area

P = F/A = 4608738  / 261 = 17658 N/m^2 or 17.66 kPa
