What are the trade winds of EL Nino?
When El Nino occurs the trade winds tend to weaken. Also water from the western Pacific moves to the Eastern Pacific.
El nino develops because of a weakening of what?
Trade winds.
Do plate tectonics effect el nino?
It decreases trade winds
What happens when increased air pressure causes trade winds to lesson?
When increased pressure causes trade wind to lessen, El Nino is formed. El Nino is caused by high air pressure in the South Pacific that causes trade winds to die out. This causes the waters to warm up, which causes more rain in Latin America.
Which statement describes sea surface temperatures along the South American coast and Pacific trade winds during El Nino?
The answer that best describes this is.... the sea surface temperatures become warmer than normal; and Pacific trade winds are from the west!

During an El Nino winds drag ocean water causing what?
causing heavy rain, heavy storms, and high tides along the west coast of north and south america
What happens to rainfall in Australia and off the coast of Peru during an El nino?
Along the coast of Peru, El Nino generally brings wet weather during December-February and above-normal temperatures throughout the year (as long as the El Nino exists).In Australia, El Nino means dry, and drought is not uncommon during these episodes, particularly in northern and eastern areas. El Nino has less effect on the southwestern quarter of the continent. In addition, El Nino summers (December-February) tend to be hotter than normal in Tasmania and nearby southeastern Australia.
What happend during the years of El Nino?
The pressure gradient decreases. drought conditions in Australia
What weather system might be occuring if the trade winds in the pacific are stronger than normal?
la Nina
What unusual events occur during el nino?
warm water flows from western pacific toward south America
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.
