Under certain conditions, upwelling can occur in the ocean. Upwelling happens when warm surface water near coastal areas is blown offshore by winds. This movement creates a condition in which cold water from the bottom of the ocean near the shore rises, carrying sediment and organic material to the surface. Phytoplankton use these nutrients to grow and reproduce at rapid rates, which attracts organisms that rely on phytoplankton for food. Based on your understanding of upwelling, describe how the biodiversity in regions that experience upwelling should compare to those that don’t. Justify your answer.
