Question
what is the name of the process that is similar to ocean upwelling but occurs in fresh water and vertically mixes the water column? (1 point)
○ lake surface winds
○ lake turnover
○ lake stratification
○ lake acidification
Lake turnover is a natural process in freshwater bodies. It vertically mixes the water column, similar to ocean upwelling. Lake surface winds mainly affect the surface layer. Lake stratification is the opposite of mixing (layers form). Lake acidification is about pH change, not mixing. So, lake turnover is the correct answer.
