What is El Niño?

Biology
1 answer:
Anastasy [175]3 years ago
5 0

El Niño: an irregularly occurring and complex series of climatic changes affecting the equatorial Pacific region and beyond every few years, characterized by the appearance of unusually warm, nutrient-poor water off northern Peru and Ecuador, typically in late December.

La Niña: a cooling of the water in the equatorial Pacific, which occurs at irregular intervals, and is associated with widespread changes in weather patterns complementary to those of El Niño, but less extensive and damaging in their effects.

how they differ: La Niña is sometimes referred to as the cold phase of ENSO and El Niño as the warm phase of ENSO. These deviations from normal surface temperatures can have large-scale impacts not only on ocean processes, but also on global weather and climate. ... Typically, El Niño occurs more frequently than La Niña.

Living organisms do not play a role in the water cycle.<br> True Or false?
Inessa [10]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

False

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Water is perhaps the most important component of any ecosystem. All living organisms need water to grow and survive. The organisms involved in this cycle are plants, animals, bacteria and decomposers. All of them use water for their own processes and functions. The processes involved are evaporation, condensation, sublimation, precipitation, transpiration, runoff, and infiltration. Since plants and animals both need water in very greater amount therefore we cannot neglect their importance in water cycle.

About half of all babies are able to walk independently by __________ months of age.
Liono4ka [1.6K]
I think that about half of all babies are able to walk independently by 12 month of age. It said that babies tend to take their first steps from the age of 9. Babies usually start to crawl before they can walk. This is because their arm are usually more effective. After crawling they learn to stand up with their feet first and later learn to walk while holding things. The next step after that is walking. 
Not all babies walk at the same time. There those that learn before the other so there is no need to worry if your child does not walk by 12 months.
