El Ni\u00f1o & La Ni\u00f1a<\/h3>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
1. What is El Ni\u00f1o?<\/strong><\/div>\n
El Ni\u00f1o is an unusual phenomenon in that the surface water temperature increase in the<\/div>\n
eastern tropical Pacifific Ocean around Christmas. (Also brings a lot of rains)<\/div>\n
2. Do scientists know what is causing El Ni\u00f1o?<\/strong><\/div>\n
Yes. Usually, the trade wind is blow from east to west, pushing the warm surface water to<\/div>\n
the west. However, sometimes the trade wind is weakened, and the westward trade wind<\/div>\n
pushes warm surface water back to the eastern Pacifific Ocean. Sometimes, EI Nino can last<\/div>\n
for years.<\/div>\n
3. Why is El Ni\u00f1o an interpretation of the \u201cthe Christ Child\u201d?<\/strong><\/div>\n
EL Nino means \u201c the Christ Child\u201d in Spanish. This is because a long time ago, the ancient<\/div>\n
Indians who lived along the coast of Peru and Ecuador payed close attention to the<\/div>\n
relationship between the sea and the weather. They found that around Christmas, the sea<\/div>\n
surface was unusually warm than usual, and soon, it would rain heavily. The ancient Indians<\/div>\n
then called this abnormal warm seawater \u201c the Christ Child\u201d (religious), that is, “El Ni\u00f1o\u201d.<\/div>\n
4. How often does El Ni\u00f1o occur?<\/strong><\/div>\n
El Ni\u00f1os occurs every 2 to12years.<\/div>\n
5. Describe upwelling and its importance:<\/strong><\/div>\n
Upwelling is the deep, cold water that rises to the sea surface, and it brings many nutrients<\/div>\n
to the sea surface. Upwelling can bring tons of nutrients that provide food for marine<\/div>\n
organisms to the sea surface, and it helps to form many fifishing grounds for humans.<\/div>\n
Upwelling helps it\u2019s crucial to ocean circulation and distribution of heat.<\/div>\n\n\n
