Question

Ocean circulation is the large-scale movement of water in the ocean. It involves the transport of heat through convection,

Answer 1

Answer:

Convection moves heat toward the west.

Explanation:

El Niño is defined as a climate pattern which is characterized by the unusual increase in temperature of surface waters in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean.

Convection deals with the movement of heat particles in a fluid (liquid or gas) between areas of different temperature.

Studies shows that convection moves heat in the ocean during non-El Niño (normal) years through a process called upwelling which involves movement of heat towards the west.
