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.

drek231 [11]

Answer:

Viruses mutate very quickly The major reason that viruses evolve faster than say, mosquitoes or snakes or bed bugs, is because they multiply faster than other organisms. And that means every new individual is an opportunity for new mutations as they make a copy of their genetic material. Many of those mutations have no noticeable effect.

Kipish [7]

Answer:

the dissolved oxygen of the water decreases.

the fish need the oxygen for respiration, breathing through their gills.

Explanation:

The salinity decreasing doesn't affect the pickerel, because it's a freshwater fish. no salt needed.
