What effect does el nino have on the western pacific?

Geography
1 answer:
Eddi Din [679]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Cools it down and causes droughts

Explanation:

El Nino is a periodic weather pattern. It developed on every 3 to 7 years, so it is partially predictably. The scientists still can not figure out why is this weather pattern occurring, though they have some basic clues about it. El Nino causes warming up of the eastern part of the Pacific Ocean, but on the opposite side, on the western part of the Pacific Ocean it causes the opposite, it cools down the waters. From Indonesia to Australia, El Nino manages to cool down the temperature because of the cooling off of the waters. The colder waters also contribute to lesser evaporation and condensation, so the rainfall dramatically decreases, causing droughts as well in the western part of the Pacific.

Annotate around the image showing plate tectonic theory to explain how the continents drifted apart.
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

The crust broke up because of the convection currents, formed tectonic plates, and is slowly pushed on the surface until it collides with another plate and subducts.

Explanation:

This image gives us the basics of how the plate tectonics theory works. The material in the upper mantle is cooler and denser than the material in the lower mantle, so it drops down and it pushes the hotter and less dense material up. This creates a circular motion in the mantle, and this motion creates enormous pressure on the crust above it and breaks it up.

As the crust is broken up, magma is rising constantly for millions of years, so the new magma pushes the old solidified one further away. This also pushes two pieces of crust away from each other. As the crusts move away, they eventually collide with another plate, and either gradually merge with it, or a subduction zone is created. In the latter, the crust moves below another crust and into the mantle, where it gets melted and recycled.
