  • Challenge Question #2

    Dear Mrs.Donnelly,

    Our answer to the question is that an upwelling is an upward flow of water
    that is rich in nutrients. It also brings a good population of
    fish(plankton)to feed on these nutrients.

    So we think that since the nutrients brings the fish,that it will also
    bring the whales, and they will eat the fish.

    Sincerly,
    Mckenna, Ali,
    Ben, Andre',
    and Caitlin
