El Niño is a pattern in climate change occurring as the result of accelerated temperatures in the tropical-eastern regions of the Pacific Ocean for a shorter or extended period of time. This phenomenon affects areas of the western and southern parts of America impacting all natural resources including ocean life. In the past, El Niño has also caused serious disease outbreaks among the local population.
Explanation:
El Niño keeps the western pacific coast very warm and dry leading to drought.
Responsible for extremely wet monsoons, may lead to severe flooding along the Caribbean coast.
The opposite effect is known as “La Niña” that has adverse positive effects on the ecosystem, bringing in nutrient-rich cooler-water currents.
Answer:
El Niño is caused by increased ocean temperatures off the west coast of Latin America. The El Niño effect causes increased storm activity. Because of an increase in rainfall, some areas experience flooding. Some storms are severe and may be destructive.
