How does wind cause upwelling in the oceans?

El Nino


How does el nino affects upwelling?

It causes it to stop or lessen.


When is upwelling weaker during a normal pattern El Niño or La Nina event?

During El Nino upwelling is weaker. During La Nina upwelling increases. During a normal pattern the upwelling rises.


What does upwelling have to do with el nino?

El Nino reduces upwelling. Normal sea surface temperatures in Pacific tend to be warmer in the west because of upwelling, where warm water flows west because of trade winds and colder water rises up to replace the warm water in the Eastern Pacific. During El Nino, the trade winds get all screwed up and warm water is spread out more evenly in the Pacific. So there is less upwelling and the Eastern Pacific sees warmer sea water.


Why is the warm weather condition of El Nino not good for the fishermen?

Under normal conditions, upwelling at the equatorial Pacific brings up nutrients from the deep ocean, which ultimate provides food for fish. During El Nino, this upwelling is reduced or even reversed, leading to fewer nutrients and thus, fewer fish.


List three disasters that may occur when El Nino changes the weather patterns?

floods,mudslides,and drought and also changes in upwelling.


What ocean current most affects the weather in north America?

The Ocean Current that most affects the weather in North America is probably the EL NINO or the UPWELLING Currents.


Name three disasters caused by El Nino?

Floods, mudslides,drought and also changes in upwelling. I know its 3 but an extra one is good too. I hope i helped you =)


What are two changes in weather patterns caused by el nino that can cause disasters?

Floods, mudslides, drought, and also some changes in upwelling. I know that's four but it gives more of a variety... :) hope I helped!

Many marine organisms depend on upwelling to bring nutrients to the surface How might El Nino affect a fisherman's way of life?

Upwelling is a process in which cold, nutrient-rich water from the deep ocean rises to the surface and replaces warm surface water. The warm water is blown out to sea by prevailing winds But every 2 to 12 years, the south Pacific trade winds move less warm water to the western Pacific. As a result, surface water temperatures along the coast of South America rise. Gradually, this warming spreads westward. This periodic change in the location of warm and cool surface waters in the Pacific Ocean is called El Nino. El Nino not only affects surface waters but also changes the interaction between the ocean and the atmosphere, resulting in changes in global weather patterns.


Why does the fishing industry watch for upwellings eagerly?

Most ocean waters are depleted of nutrients - plankton gets eaten by larger creatures, the larger creatures export nutrients in their wastes out of the lighted zone, where plants can grow, into the deep ocean. Where upwelling occurs, as in the Peru Current, these deep waters come to the surface carrying nutrients. This yields a phytoplankton boom, which gives fish a rich source of food. The anchovy fishery of Peru, one of the richest fisheries in the world, is directly fed by upwelling. During an el Nino event the upwelling fails - so does the fishery.
