Answer:

El Niño

Explanation:

The natural reason for the rising surface temperatures of the Pacific Ocean, drought in the western United States, and flooding on the Pacific coast of South America Is the El Niño.

El Niño is a climate pattern that happens when there is an unusual warming of the surface temperatures of the Pacific Ocean. This occurs at an interval of two to seven years

During El Niño, the  surface waters of the Pacific Ocean become warmer than average and this is as a result of the weakness of trade winds which blows over the entire Pacific Ocean. This makes the atmospheric pressure above the ocean to decrease.

El Niño brings rainfall nd flooding to South America and droughts in the western United States

6 At STP, which element is a good conductor of electricity?(1) chlorine (3) silver
alexgriva [62]
For an object to conduct electricity it should have free or delocalised electrons that are free to pass the charge and hence take part in conducting electricity.
From the given choices
Chlorine is a halogen existing as a diatomic gas. Iodine too is a halogen and 2 Iodine atoms held together by covalent bond. Cl - Cl bonds and I-I bonds are  covalent bonds. the outer electrons of Cl and I take part in covalent bonds therefore they are fixed and not free to move about. therefore no free electrons to conduct electricity.
Sulfur is a solid that too is held together by covalent bonds so it does not have free electrons to conduct electricity.

Silver is a metal and a general property of metals are their ability to conduct electricity.
metal structure are metal ions tightly packed together. when the metal atoms are tightly packed their valence electrons are removed and delocalised. Positively charged metal ions are embedded in a sea of delocalised electrons.
therefore there are delocalised electrons that can conduct electricity 


answer is 3) silver
