This body of water contains an entity known as the "black stream," and the Andesite line delineates between andesitic and mafic rocks in it. The Louisville hotspot lies underneath it, and the Humboldt current here sees high primary productivity due to upwelling. The Kuroshio current lies in this entity whose changing location relative to a hotspot created the Emperor seamount chain. Weakened trade winds over this entity cause its eastern portion to heat up and upwelling to stop, disrupting fisheries, in one phase of the El Nino Southern Oscillation.
