The ultimate trigger, though relates to the reversal of a wind current over the equatorial Pacific, which produces the characteristic warming of the surface waters. A few other patterns similar to El Nino have been identified, but these are separate events.

What are the trade winds of EL Nino?

How are hurricanes different from typhones and cyclanes?
A hurricane and typhoon are really the same thing. Only a Hurricane occurs in the Atlantic ocean or Pacific ocean east of the International Date Line. A typhoon is in the Pacific ocean west of the line. A cyclone is virtually any cyclonic (counterclockwise rotation in the northern hemisphere, clockwise in the southern hemisphere) low -pressure system and is not necessarily severe or violent. A hurricane (or typhoon) is a specific type of cyclone: a tropical cyclone with maximum sustained winds of 74 mph or more.
