Analyze the impact of El Niño on global weather patterns.

• El Niño typically causes cooler ocean temperatures and milder weather.

• El Niño typically causes warmer ocean temperatures and can lead to extreme weather events like floods and droughts.

• El Niño has no significant impact on global weather patterns.

• El Niño only affects the weather in the Southern Hemisphere.

DOK Level 3: Strategic Thinking

Discuss the potential impacts of climate change on weather patterns.

• Climate change has no impact on weather patterns.

• Climate change can lead to more extreme weather events, such as stronger hurricanes, more intense heatwaves, and heavier rainfall.

• Climate change will only cause colder weather.

• Climate change will only affect weather patterns in the polar regions.
