What are the trade winds of EL Nino?
During an El Nino event, the trade winds in the tropical Pacific weaken or even reverse direction. This weakening of the trade winds allows warm water to move eastward towards the coast of South America, disrupting normal oceanic and atmospheric patterns and leading to the warming of sea surface temperatures in the eastern Pacific.
What happend during the years of El Nino?
The pressure gradient decreases. drought conditions in Australia
During an El Nino winds drag ocean water causing what?
During an El Nino event, the weakened trade winds allow warm surface waters in the western Pacific Ocean to move eastward towards South America. This can cause an increase in sea surface temperatures, changes in weather patterns, and disruptions in marine ecosystems.
What happens when increased air pressure causes trade winds to lesson?
When increased pressure causes trade wind to lessen, El Nino is formed. El Nino is caused by high air pressure in the South Pacific that causes trade winds to die out. This causes the waters to warm up, which causes more rain in Latin America.
What does upwelling have to do with el nino?
El Nino reduces upwelling. Normal sea surface temperatures in Pacific tend to be warmer in the west because of upwelling, where warm water flows west because of trade winds and colder water rises up to replace the warm water in the Eastern Pacific. During El Nino, the trade winds get all screwed up and warm water is spread out more evenly in the Pacific. So there is less upwelling and the Eastern Pacific sees warmer sea water.

What happens to rainfall in Australia and off the coast of Peru during an El nino?
Along the coast of Peru, El Nino generally brings wet weather during December-February and above-normal temperatures throughout the year (as long as the El Nino exists).In Australia, El Nino means dry, and drought is not uncommon during these episodes, particularly in northern and eastern areas. El Nino has less effect on the southwestern quarter of the continent. In addition, El Nino summers (December-February) tend to be hotter than normal in Tasmania and nearby southeastern Australia.

What weather system might be occuring if the trade winds in the pacific are stronger than normal?
la Nina

What unusual events occur during el nino?
warm water flows from western pacific toward south America
What happens while an El Nino is happening?
It is normally quite windy..........................
What happens if youburn or kill a nino de la tierra?
It dies.
Why was there fewer fish during El Nino?
There are fewer fish during El Nino because El Nino causes dramatic temperature fluctuations. This combined with rapidly rising or decreasing water levels lead fish to find a more stable environment in which to live.
