Bellwork:
Consider a lake in which the water is uniformly 10°C.
What happens to the oxygen-rich surface water as it
cools to 4°C? What concurrently happens to the
nutrient-rich deeper water?
The oxygen-rich surface waters sink to the bottom of the
lake as they are cooled down to 4°C. This is of benefit to
the aquatic organisms living at the bottom. Concurrently,
the nutrient-rich deeper waters are pushed to the surface.
This is of benefit to the aquatic organisms living towards
the surface. This process is called upwelling and is
essential to marine organisms survival.
