Equatorial up-welling

Explanation:

The up-welling is the rising of the water at the equator at 200 miles at the surface and occurs at the Atlantic and the pacific ocean where the trade winds reach into the northern hemisphere and ships tends to float in left due to the direction of the winds and occurs due to the Coriolis force of the earth.
