Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is Global Warming. ElNINO is a climate pattern that describes the unusual warming of surface waters in the eastern Pacific Ocean. Atmospheric pressure decreases at the ocean surface in the western tropical Pacific (Southern Oscillation).
Detailed explanation-2: -During an El Niño event, the surface waters in the central and eastern Pacific Ocean become significantly warmer than usual. That change is intimately tied to the atmosphere and to the winds blowing over the vast Pacific.
Detailed explanation-3: -El Niño can affect our weather significantly. The warmer waters cause the Pacific jet stream to move south of its neutral position. With this shift, areas in the northern U.S. and Canada are dryer and warmer than usual.
Detailed explanation-4: -El Niño is a weather pattern that occurs in the Pacific Ocean. During this time, unusual winds cause warm surface water from the equator to move east, toward Central and South America. El Niño can cause more rain than usual in South and Central America and in the United States.
Detailed explanation-5: -El Niño occurs when warm water builds up along the equator in the eastern Pacific. The warm ocean surface warms the atmosphere, which allows moisture-rich air to rise and develop into rainstorms.
