Upwelling

Upwelling Definition | Radience Gaming

The vertical movement of cold water from the deep ocean to the surface

Real World Example

Imagine trying to find your favorite sweater that's buried at the bottom of a messy, overstuffed drawer. Just like how you dig through layers of clothes to bring that sweater to the top, upwelling involves the movement of cold, nutrient-rich water from the depths of the ocean to the surface. In this analogy, the sweater represents the cold, nutrient-rich water, the layers of clothes are like the warmer surface waters, and your action of pulling the sweater up mirrors the upwelling process.
