Question

in the ocean, what process establishes equilibrium by distributing nutrients more evenly between the living and nonliving elements of the ecosystem? (1 point) upwelling density turnover buoyancy

Explanation:

Upwelling is a process in the ocean where deep, nutrient - rich water rises to the surface. This helps in distributing nutrients more evenly between the living (such as phytoplankton which use these nutrients for growth) and non - living elements of the ecosystem. Density is a property of water related to its mass per unit volume. Turnover (in a general sense) is a more broad term not specific to this nutrient - distributing process. Buoyancy is the ability of an object to float and is not directly related to nutrient distribution in the way upwelling is.

Answer:

upwelling
