Which lists some effects of El Niño? warmer temperatures and more rain true cooler temperatures and less rain false warmer temperatures and less rain false cooler temperatures and more rain false Single Which best describes El Niño? The water in the Pacific Ocean gets warmer than normal and causes fewer hurricanes to form. false The water in the Pacific Ocean gets colder than normal and causes more hurricanes to form. false The water in the Pacific Ocean gets colder than normal, and the flow of the jet stream is disrupted. false The water in the Pacific Ocean gets warmer than normal, and the flow of the jet stream is disrupted. true Single What causes La Nina? cooling of water in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of South America false cooling water off the Atlantic coast of the US false cooling water in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of South America true warm water in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of South America false Single El Nino and La Nina are two periodic changes in ocean circulation patterns. which of these statements best describes their effect on global climate? El Nino and La Nina tend to peak during winter months, so by the summer months the climate patterns return to normal conditions. false El Nino carries warm water, increasing rainfall along the coast of Chile, while La Nina brings cold water upwellings to western South America. true El Nino and La Nina are recent disturbances in ocean currents oscillating between warm and cold conditions caused by the greenhouse effect. false El Nino and La Nina exclusively affect the climate of the southern Pacific Ocean including South America, Australia and Indonesia. false Single What causes the upwelling of cold water forming the La Nina weather phenomenon? Weak Trade winds false Strong Ocean currents false Strong Trade winds true Weak Ocean currents false Single ENSO stands for Eh! Not So Observant false En Niño Southern Oscillation true El Niño Salinity Observation false El Niño Southwestern Oscars false Single Trade winds in the Pacific normally push East to West. true West to East. false North to South. false South to North. false Single The change in normal patterns over the Pacific that start the El Niño event involve stronger than normal trade winds from East to West. false weakened trade winds push less warm surface water to the West. true strengthened trade winds push more cold water Westward. false volcanic activity under water cause changes in the flow of cold water on the coast of South America. false Single The process that brings nutrients to the surface of the ocean is called La Nina false La Nina false Continental deflection false Upwelling true Single Where does the term El Niño come from and what does it mean? “The Child,” due to its appearance around the Christmas season true "The Chile," due to its appearance around Thanksgiving false "The Kid", due to its appearance around Easter false "The Family", due to its appearance around 4th of July false Single
