Since deep water tends to be high in nutrients, upwelling zones are often areas of high biological productivity and fish biomass: the coriolis effect and trade winds typically push the peru current northwest along the west coast of. South america; trade winds then push surface waters offshore and west across the pacific ocean. 3 7 years, trade winds reverse (i. e. , oscillate), moving warm water in the opposite direction (i. e. , el ni o- Consequently, the temperature in the interior also varies more: hadley cells: the two circulation cells of air between the equator and 30 n and 30 s latitudes.
