Best Answer

Upwelling is an oceanographic phenomenon that involves wind-driven motion of dense, cooler, and usually nutrient-rich water towards the ocean surface, replacing the warmer, usually nutrient-depleted surface water. Upwelling intensity depends on wind strength and seasonal variability so nutrient levels are not constant year round.

Why are are the levels of all the seas are equal in the world?

Because no matter where, all oceans and sea's are connected through big lakes rivers/meanders etc they meet up making it all level. 2)There are high tides and low tides on the level of the sea, and they never stand still. As a result of this phenomena. ++++ They are NOT connected via rivers & lakes! Such water bodies are on land hence above sea-level! Yes, the tidal "bulge" in the sea-level moves round the Earth daily but the oceans' overall level is more or less constant because they are linked round the continents. The Atlantic Ocean joins the Pacific Ocean both round Cape Horn and over the North Pole. Look at a map of the world. ' A meander does not connect anything. It is a roughly sinuous bend in a river, usually one of a series of such bends along the river's lower reaches.
