A
The process of bringing cold, nutrient-rich water from the deep ocean to the surface
💡 Explanation:
Upwelling is a process that occurs when wind blows parallel to a coastline. This wind causes the surface water to move away from the coast, which allows cold, nutrient-rich water from the deep ocean to rise to the surface.
