El Niño is a natural event that periodically weakens the western surface of ocean currents in the equatorial pacific ocean. In an El Niño, the wind that pushes water around (which keeps the east warm and west cold) gets weaker making the ocean warmer, changing the air temperature and precipitation patterns in the United States.

Answer:

Explanation: people interact with the environment in a positive way by throwing away their trash, and being respectful to the environment, people impact the environment in a negative way by, leaving their trash to fly away into the ocean or something, and by driving their cars a lot, even people who work in factories they produce pollution too. The environment affects humans in a positive way by being nice and pretty and all the flowers, it make us humans happy, and like oceans and playgrouds they give people exercise by just moving around. The environment affects people in a negative way by natural disasters causing floods and people's houses get ruined or someone getting like poison ivy, that's not good.
