El Nino and La Nina

What are the causes of El Nino?

• Changes in wind patterns in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean.

• Cooling of the ocean surface or below-average sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean.

• Warming of the ocean surface or above-average sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean.

• Volcanic eruptions in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean.

What are the effects of El Nino?

• El Nino has no effect on weather patterns and ocean currents.

• El Nino causes earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.

• El Nino only affects land-based ecosystems.

• El Nino can cause changes in weather patterns and ocean currents.

What are the causes of La Nina?

• Changes in atmospheric pressure

• Warming of surface waters in the eastern and central Pacific Ocean

• Cooling of surface waters in the eastern and central Pacific Ocean

• Increased solar radiation

What are the effects of La Nina?

• The effects of La Nina include cooler temperatures, increased rainfall in the western Pacific, and drought conditions in the eastern Pacific.

• The effects of La Nina include cooler temperatures, increased rainfall in the eastern Pacific, and drought conditions in the western Pacific.

• The effects of La Nina include cooler temperatures, decreased rainfall in the western Pacific, and drought conditions in the eastern Pacific.

• The effects of La Nina include warmer temperatures, decreased rainfall in the western Pacific, and wet conditions in the eastern Pacific.

What is El Nino?

• El Nino is a weather phenomenon that occurs in the Arctic region.

• El Nino is a climate pattern that occurs when there is a warming of the ocean surface temperature in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean.

• El Nino is a type of fish found in the Pacific Ocean.

• El Nino is a term used to describe a sudden increase in volcanic activity.

What is the opposite of El Nino?

• El Nada Nada

• El Hombre

• La Nina

• El Nada

How does El Nino affect weather patterns?

• El Nino affects weather patterns by causing changes in wind patterns, altered rainfall patterns, and temperature extremes worldwide.

• El Nino causes hurricanes and tornadoes

• El Nino only affects temperature but not wind or rainfall patterns

• El Nino has no effect on weather patterns

How long does El Nino typically last?

• 5-7 months

• 9-12 months

• 1-3 months

• 15-18 months

What are the main indicators of El Nino?

• decreased sea surface temperatures, strengthened trade winds, changes in atmospheric pressure patterns

• decreased sea surface temperatures, weakened trade winds, changes in ocean currents

• increased sea surface temperatures, strengthened trade winds, changes in ocean currents

• increased sea surface temperatures, weakened trade winds, changes in atmospheric pressure patterns

How does El Nino impact marine life?

• El Nino impacts marine life by causing changes in ocean temperatures and currents.

• El Nino only impacts marine life in a positive way.

• El Nino has no impact on marine life.

• El Nino impacts marine life by increasing ocean temperatures and currents.
