agasfer [191]

Answer:

<u>1. Their productivity increases, 2. increased friction with the land surface, 3. They intensify, 4. It increases evaporation.</u>

Explanation:

  • When the El Nino a southern oscillation reaches the Peru coast it upwells warm water and which is beneficial to the fishes and marine life. As the upper water planktons depend on this nutrient-rich water and thus thrive and increase in productivity.
  • Its a fact that the cyclones drive their energy from the warm moisture supply of water from the oceans and seas and when they make a landfall they collapse and they can't move to the interior as the friction a force and the number of energy decreases and thus they fall.
  • When the tropical cyclones form in the warm waters they intensify and grow bigger in size and thus move further quickly.
  • As the sea sprays are salts that are ejected from the oceans they are a process of heat transfer and intensify the formation if a cyclone, transferring heat, momentum, and moisture into the air.
