The Indian monsoon has had a disastrous effect on the nation’s agricultural activity as a result of the El Nino influence. The El Nino effect is unpredictable; it never follows a set rhythm. El Nino occurs erratically every 2–7 years as well. El Nino is sometimes thought of just a ...

El Nino/La Nina What is El Nino? From NOAA website El Nino was originally recognized by fishermen off the coast of South America as the appearance of unusually warm water in the Pacific Ocean, occurring near the beginning of the year. El Nino means The Little Boy or Christ child in ...
At present, there is no firm evidence of an effect of global warming on ENSO: that is, we don’t know whether the frequency or duration of El Niño and La Niña have changed due to climate change, let alone whether they will do so in the future. What the scientific community's co...
A multi-year drought (干旱) in south-east Brazil is becoming worse. Though heavy rains brought about by El Nino may relieve the drought in California, they are likely to cause surface flooding and other disasters The most recent powerful Nino, in 1997-98, killed around 21,000 people and ...

El Niño has a powerful effect on global weather patterns An El Niño event affects a relatively small part of the eastern Pacific Ocean, but it’s an oceanic fever with ramifications felt around the world. Winds usually blow across the Pacific Ocean from east to ...
El Nino has a significant impact on marine species off the Pacific coast as well. Under typical circumstances, upwelling delivers cold, nutrient-rich water from the depths to the top. Upwelling weakens or ceases entirely during El Nino.
During a La Nina event, the cold water from the west coast of South American gets pushed up further than normal. The result is usually the opposite of what happens during an El Nino event. Precipitation on the coast of Peru and Chile is usually less, but rainfall in the Andes can be ...
Does El Niño create dangerous conditions for marine life, and will it have a lasting effect on marine animals? First, there is no question that El Niño has serious effects on life in many regions. Second, it should be remembered that El Niño is part of the normal rhythm of Earth...
