Question

coastal upwelling along the coast of chile is a result of winds from the _____ turning water towards the ______ due to ekman transport. west; left south; right north; right south; left

Explanation:

Coastal upwelling along the Chilean coast occurs because of the prevailing winds. In the Southern Hemisphere (where Chile is located), Ekman transport causes water to move at a 90 - degree angle to the left of the wind direction. The winds along the Chilean coast are mainly from the south. As these south - blowing winds push surface water, due to Ekman transport (in the Southern Hemisphere), the water is turned to the left (away from the coast), allowing deeper, nutrient - rich water to upwell.

Answer:

south; left
