Upwelling and Downwelling

There are no animals found in this area.  Convergence will cause downwelling.  Also it makes the water hold on longer together.The Sargaso Sea is an example of convergence.  Boats there stayed there a long time ran out of food and sometimes died.  If there is an ocean of a lack of biological activity then you are convergence.  Ekman transport forces the water together thickening the surface layer.  Water will become divergent as a result of the ekman transport.  As wind starts to  blow parallel to a place it creates a perpendicular Ekman transport drawing water away from the coast
