A. A 1/4-ounce envelope of unflavored gelatin contains 1 tablespoon, which is enough to gel about 2 cups of most clear liquids. Keep in mind that certain foods-figs, ginger root, guava, kiwifruit, papaya, and pineapple-contain an enzyme that prevents gelatin from thickening.
Upwelling in the coastal ocean can be due to a number of factors. In most situations the upwelling is wind driven and its effect on currents, stratification and nutrient supply determined by topographic detail such as water depth and the shape of the coastline.
Upwelling plays an important role for the rich marine resources in each of the five sanctuaries along the west coast. However, the effects on each vary. For example, winds favorable to upwelling tend to be somewhat weaker and more seasonal in the Pacific Northwest than further to the south.
