Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Coastal upwelling is most common in association with eastern boundary currents, which flow along the western coasts of continents due to the influence of the Coriolis effect. These currents push surface waters away from the coast, causing deeper, nutrient-rich waters to well up to replace them. This leads to increased productivity and abundant fisheries in these regions.
