Which chemical process is enhanced when upwelling occurs within ocean gyres?

💡 Explanation

When upwelling brings nutrient-rich deep water to the surface of an ocean gyre, dissolved nitrogen becomes highly available because increased phytoplankton growth facilitated by the nutrients causes intense activity of nitrogen-fixing bacteria. Therefore enhanced nitrogen fixation occurs, rather than the other processes which have other triggers.

• Which outcome results when a mine's karst aquifer recharge exceeds natural drainage?
• Which risk increases near a volcano with a silica-rich lava dome growing within its caldera?
• Which outcome occurs when a large iceberg melts within the relatively stable Western Pacific Gyre?
