Afloramientos

LA VIDA EN LOS OCÉANOS

El sistema de corrientes oceánicas incluye movimientos horizontales y verticales y estas pueden ser ascendentes y descendentes. Esta ascensión de masas de agua profunda, se denomina afloramiento, hace subir los nutrientes acumulados en el fondo oceánico hacia la capa fótica, provocando un aumento importante en la producción de fitoplancton y por tanto de la biomasa de todos los niveles tróficos del ecosistema.

Los afloramientos tienen lugar debido a la constancia e intensidad de los vientos, que soplan paralelos a esta costa rectilínea, y ocasionan un desplazamiento de las masas de agua desde la superficie hacia mar abierto y un ascenso de aguas profundas, más frías, menos densas y ricas en nutrientes.
