Answer:What are El Niño and La Niña?

El Niño and La Niña are opposite phases of a natural climate pattern across the tropical Pacific Ocean that swings back and forth every 3-7 years on average. Together, they are called ENSO (pronounced “en-so”), which is short for El Niño-Southern Oscillation.

The ENSO pattern in the tropical Pacific can be in one of three states: El Niño, Neutral, or La Niña. El Niño (the warm phase) and La Niña (the cool phase) lead to significant differences from the average ocean temperatures, winds, surface pressure, and rainfall across parts of the tropical Pacific. Neutral indicates that conditions are near their long-term average.

What happens during El Niño and La Niña?

During El Niño, the surface winds across the entire tropical Pacific are weaker than usual. Ocean temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean are warmer than average, and rainfall is below average over Indonesia and above average over the central or eastern Pacific.

Rising air motion (which is linked to storms and rainfall) increases over the central or eastern Pacific, and surface pressure there tends to be lower than average.  Meanwhile, an increase in sinking air motion over Indonesia leads to higher surface pressure and dryness.

Anomalous ocean warming in the central and eastern Pacific (orange) help to shift a rising branch of the Walker Circulation to east of 180°, while sinking branches shift to over the Maritime continent and northern South America.

During La Niña, it’s the opposite. The surface winds across the entire tropical Pacific are stronger than usual, and most of the tropical Pacific Ocean is cooler than average. Rainfall increases over Indonesia (where waters remain warm) and decreases over the central tropical Pacific (which is cool). Over Indonesia, there is more rising air motion and lower surface pressure. There is more sinking air motion over the cooler waters of the central and eastern Pacific.

Generalized Walker Circulation (December-February) anomaly during La Niña events, overlaid on map of average sea surface temperature anomalies. Anomalous ocean cooling (blue-green) in the central and eastern Pacific Ocean and warming over the western Pacific Ocean enhance the rising branch of the Walker circulation over the Maritime Continent and the sinking branch over the eastern Pacific Ocean. Enhanced rising motion is also observed over northern South America, while anomalous sinking motion is found over eastern Africa. NOAA Climate.gov drawing by Fiona Martin.

Between the warm phase (El Niño) and cool phase (La Niña), scientists describe conditions as “ENSO-neutral.” Neutral means that the temperatures, winds, convection (rising air), and rainfall across the tropical Pacific are near their long-term averages.

Answer: Ecosystem Services

Explanation: Simply put,Ecosystem services refer to all the benefits that man enjoys from his relationship with the ecosystem.Ecosystem services are the benefits that people obtain from ecosystems. Ecosystem services are indispensable to the wellbeing of all people, everywhere in the world. They include provision,regulation and cultural services that directly affect people, and supporting services needed to maintain the other services. From the availability of adequate food and water, to disease regulation of vectors, pests, and pathogens, human health and well-being depends on these services and conditions from the natural environment.

We depend on nature for our survival – without healthy ecosystems, our drinking water isn’t clean nor is the air we breathe. Studies also show that people who spend time in nature tend to be happier than those that don’t. Being outdoor can even act as a natural anti-depressant. With industry and urban sprawl expanding at unprecedented rates, Ecosystem Services attempt to translate the benefits we receive from nature into economic terms so we can better understand the compromise we are making between nature and industrial development.

Pond water temperature changes quickly as air temperature goes up or down
xeze [42]
Air and Water Temperature Increases

An increase in the air temperature will cause water temperatures to increase as well. ... Lower levels of dissolved oxygen due to the inverse relationship that exists between dissolved oxygen and temperature. As the temperature of the water increases, dissolved oxygen levels decrease.

There are two questions (1 and 2), answer are provided as such. The cha

Answer to Question 1

Population --> Whole Organism --> Organ system --> Organ --> Tissue --> Cell

Explanation:

- The cell is the simplest, basic and functional unit of life.

- Tissue is a collection of similar cells e.g brain tissue

- Organ is a collection of similar tissues e.g Liver, Lungs

- Organ system refers to a group of closely related organs performing the same function in an organism.

- Organism comprises of well-coordinated organ systems.

- Population refers to the total number of organisms living and breeding together.

Answer to Question 2

Cell --> Genome --> Gene --> Nucleotide

Explanation:

A cell consists of a nucleus and other organelles. Within the nucleus & other organelles like mitochondria lies the total genetic material of the cell known as GENOME.

- The genome contains several functional sequence of bases known as GENE.

- A gene is made of triplets of nucleotides (codons)

In what form is energy that is NOT used for life processes released from
Elena L [17]

Answer:

a concave lens is exactly the opppostie with outer surfaces  curving inward, so it makes parallel light rays curve outward or diverge. That's why concave lenses are sometimes called diverging lenses. ... The distance from the center of the lens to the focal point is, again, the focal length of the lens.
