What ocean dynamics create stronger ocean upwelling along the western coasts of continents around the globe?

💡 Explanation

When surface winds blow parallel to coastlines (especially in the Northern hemisphere) in presence of trade winds, then the Coriolis effect causes a net transport out to sea away fron the coast in upper water. This allows for upwelling of cool rich nutrients. This process does a more direct mechanical effect compared to temperature driven causes.

• Which consequence results when overgrazing reduces bioturbation rates?
• Which mechanism causes expansion of subtropical desert regions due to atmospheric circulation?
• Which mechanism causes consistent trade winds between Hadley cells near the equator?
• Which outcome occurs when a significant amount of water is carried into the mantle by a subducting slab?
• Which atmospheric effect weakens the temperature gradient between tropics and poles?
• Which air mass movement near the equator drives Hadley cell development?
