How are currents in the Pacific Ocean affected by El Niño?

Biology

The answer is; Warm water moves to the east instead of to the west


Normally, when the waters in the Pacific warm up, the prevailing winds that blow from east to west drag the warm surface currents westwards and upwelling of cold currents occur at the west coast of South America. However, in El Nino, the Pacific ocean waters heat more than usual. The prevailing winds weaken and begin to blow predominantly towards the east. The warm currents are therefore dragged to the east and cause torrential rains in Western coast South Americas.

What is the rule of a control group in any experiment
Mashcka [7]

A control group in a scientific experiment is a group separated from the rest of the experiment, where the independent variable being tested cannot influence the results.

Explain how musicians use wind instruments to play music?
Westkost [7]
A wind instrument is a musical instrument that contains some type of resonator (usually a tube), in which a column of air is set into vibration by the player blowing into (or over) a mouthpiece set at or near the end of the resonator. The pitch of the vibration is determined by the length of the tube and by manual modifications of the effective length of the vibrating column of air. In the case of some wind instruments, sound is produced by blowing through a reed; others require buzzing into a metal mouthpiece.

The mass of a star can be determined by studying _____.
Lilit [14]

<u>Answer</u>:

The mass of a star can be determined by studying binary star systems.

<u>Explanation</u>:

In this system it consists of two stars, revolving round the same bary-centre. The systems having two or may say more than two are called as the multiple star system. This zone is also a habitable zone, here the water exists in the liquid form. We could have sometime seen the two stars together. They are also very capable of strengthening the terrestrial planets inside the stable orbital ranges. They have generally two orbits like P-type as well as circumbinary.
