When prevailing winds blow from onshore to offshore, what generally happens?
◦ The wind drives a longshore current, which draws cold air from higher latitudes, producing a cold climate.
◦ The winds cause offshore surface water to flow away from shore, forcing deeper water to rise to the surface.
◦ The wind drives the water away from shore, forcing the water to descend in a downwelling zone.
◦ The dry conditions from the land evaporate surface waters, making them more dense due to salinity increase, and they sink.
