The statement about “Upwelling is a process in which warm, nutrient rich water from the deep ocean rises to the surface” is false. It must be the cold, nutrient rich water from the deep ocean that must rise to the surface and replaces warm surface water. The cause of upwelling is when the local wind patterns blow along the northwest coast of South America causing local surface currents to move away. The warm water is then replaced by the deep cold water
