During upwelling, nutrient-rich water rises to the surface. How would this most likely affect the biotic components of the ecosystems where the upwelling is taking place?

Explanation:

The upwelling of nutrients rich water to the top will increase species numbers and diversity.

When a particular area has the ability to sustain live by providing food and nutrients required for growth of organism the population will greatly increase this is because nutrients is the major source of competition among species for survival and every species goes in search for it and where there is abundance of it there will be a rise in population and diversity.

Varying type of species that are diverse in nature comes together, mating occurs more diverse species are formed.

when a reversible reaction is occurring in both directions at the same rate; the products and reactants do not change in concentration. a chemical reaction where the compound is broken into its constituent parts.
