Warm surface water builds up, causing lower than average temperature.
Warm surface water builds up, causing higher than average temperature.
Warm surface water is reduced, causing colder conditions than normal.
Warm surface water is reduced, causing hotter conditions than normal.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Jet stream would be displaced southwards causing heavy rain and flooding.

Explanation:

The other options of the question were A) Jet stream would be displaced northwards causing drought. B) Jet stream would be displaced southwards causing drought. D) Jet stream would be displaced northwards causing heavy rain and flooding,

The statement that is a likely impact of stronger than normal trade winds in the Pacific Northwest to the United States is "Jet stream would be displaced southwards causing heavy rain and flooding."

We are talking about climate or weather terminology. In this case, we are referring to the "El Niño" (the Children) effect. Its presence affects the weather in North America. This phenomenon combines with the "La Niña) effect and it presents itself every two to seven years, ad they last from 8 to 12 months, affecting the weather conditions of the region.

Warm surface water builds up, causing lower than average temperature is the correct answer.

Warm surface water builds up, causing lower than average temperature is the impact of stronger trade winds than normal trade winds on the eastern Pacific Ocean. When the trade winds are stronger than normal during La Niña, the winds moves more surface water to the western half of the Pacific basin.

The warm water grows deeper which results in storing excess heat at depth, and allowing colder, deeper water to rise to the surface in the eastern half of the Pacific basin. During La Niña, waters of the Pacific coast are colder and also  contain more nutrients than usual so we can conclude that the replacing of warm water to cold water lowers the average temperature.
