Answer:

The pressure gradient decreases. The trade winds weaken, or even blow backwards.

Explanation:

  • The El nino is the warm phase of the ENSO, that charactics by the southern ocean warm  water that develops in the central and the eastern equatorial zones, and it's accompanied by the high pressure of the western pacific and low pressure of the eastern pacific region.
  • Development of the rainfall in the sept and the nov months, with a high pressure on the east and low on the west. Occurs toward to the cast of the peru and the equador.
  • It thus impacts the climate change and the global warming patterns and the development of the tropical as during the El nino event the subtropical ridge tends to lie near 130 degrees That favours the japan archipelago.

When an El Niño kicks in. During an El Niño, the trade winds weaken in the central and western Pacific. Surface water temperatures off South America warm up, because there is less upwelling of the cold water from below to cool the surface.

Will california sink into the ocean? explain
QveST [7]

It is possible for part of California to sink into the ocean, but not all of it. About 10 million years ago (in the Tertiary Period), much of California sank beneath the waves. Then about 5 million years ago (in the Quaternary Period), parts of southern California rose out of the sea and started becoming dry land again.

Today, some areas are rising up while others are sinking down because plate tectonics are making new mountains in various places across the state while other areas are being worn away by erosion, especially near the coast where weather patterns often include high winds and heavy rains coming off of an ocean that is constantly churning with storms both large and small. The steady rise in global sea levels due to climate change also poses a threat. In the long term, as the great tectonic plates of Earth's crust continue to move and change as they have for billions of years, it is possible that the entire state of California could once again be submerged beneath water.

In order for all of California to sink into the ocean, something would need to happen along a fault line deep under the ocean floor where part of California's land mass rests on top of a subducting plate. If this were to happen, either an earthquake or volcanic eruption would eventually cause part – but probably not all – of California to rise up out of the sea as a new island continent.
