What process brings the deep cold ocean currents up to the surface?

• Conduction

• difference in water density

• Upwelling

• Temperature and salinity

Why are surface currents at the surface of the ocean?

• colder temperature

• colder temperature & more salinty

• warmer temperature & less salinty

• less salinty

Why do the fisherman of Peru and South America not welcome a strong El Nino?

• El Nino poisons the fish

• El Nino causes strong winds and currents which move fish westward

• El Nino bring cold water to the surface which kills the base of the food chain

• El Nino shuts off upwelling and nutrients needed for the marine food chain do not rise to the surface
