Which characteristic of an estuary makes it a good nursery area for marine organisms?
Salinity quickly increases during a hurricane and then sharply decreases.
Upwelling carries nutrients to the surface of the ocean.
There would be more pollutants in the oceans.
Estuaries are areas where freshwater and salt water collide, resulting in a large amount of biodiver
salinity level
It has many areas to hide from predators.
brackish
Sonar provides detailed images of small areas of the ocean floor.
