During an el Niño event warm surface water moves from the western equatorial Pacific Ocean to the eastern equatorial region. Whi
ch of the following best describes how the warm water w affect upwelling off the coast of equatorial South America?
The warm surface water will not change upwelling because this region is at the equator and always has warm water
The warm surface water will increase upwelling because of the difference in salinity between the warm surface water and the cold deep water,
The warm surface water will decrease upwelling because the cooler temperatures on land in the region will prevent upwelling.
The warm surface water will decrease upwelling because of the density difference between the warm surface water and the cold deep water.
The statement 'warm surface water will decrease upwelling because cooler temperatures on land will prevent upwelling' describes how the warm water affects upwelling. El Niño is a climatic phenomenon.
El Niño is a climate phenomenon characterized by the warming of the surface water in the tropical Pacific Ocean.
The upwelling refers to the rising of deeper and colder water to shallower depths (i.e., the movement of deeper water to shallow levels), which occurs during the El Niño phenomenon.
The El Niño occurs every 2 to 7 calendar years as a consequence of the unusual warming of the sea water surface temperatures in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean.
There are several things that must be followed to adhere to a safe lifting technique. The first one is to make sure that you have a proper grip on the object that you lift. The second one is to not bend or twist the waist during the lifting motion, your back and waist should always be straight. The last one is to keep your legs shoulders-width apart.
Silicon dioxide is dissolvable in water and has a high melting point because the atoms in the dioxide has a strong bond between them, which requires a lot of energy to break them.
