Where does upwelling occur?

Upwelling occurs in ocean regions where deep, nutrient-rich waters rise to the surface, often driven by wind patterns and the Earth's rotation. This phenomenon typically happens along Coastlines, such as the west coasts of continents, where coastal winds push surface waters away from shore. Upwelling can also occur in open ocean areas where currents diverge. These nutrient-rich waters support high productivity and diverse marine ecosystems.
