A student draws a diagram of surface winds interacting with ocean water.
O PAI
surface winds
Tol
warm, surface ocean water
QUESTIO
coastline
deeper, colder ocean water
QUESTIO
Why does this interaction result in more biological activity than areas of the ocean further away from the
coastline?
QUESTION
The surface winds blow warm surface water containing oxygen away from marine organisms
The surface winds blow sediment into the ocean water to feed the marine organisms
QUESTIO
The surface winds help move nutrients from deeper to more shallow water to feed marine
organisms
The surface winds move oxygen from the coastline to the deeper ocean water to provide oxygen
for marine organisms
