Question

In ________, El-Nino gets established.

  1. Indian Ocean
  2. Arctic Ocean
  3. Pacific Ocean

hintHint:

Pacific Ocean

The correct answer is: Pacific Ocean


    • El-Nino is the climatic cycle in the pacific ocean.
    • So, the correct option is c.

    • The cycle begins when warm water in the western tropical Pacific Ocean shifts eastward along the equator toward the coast of South America.

    ________is a warm ocean current.

    • The surface waters of the Kuroshio Current are warm and salty.
    • This is because the Kuroshio starts in the tropics where the westward flowing North Equatorial Current reaches the western boundary of the North Pacific.
    • Peruvian current, is a cold, low-salinity ocean current that flows north along the western coast of South America.
    • The Labrador current is a cold ocean current that flows from the Arctic Ocean southward along the coast of Labrador and Newfoundland.

    The Westerlies are__________.

    • Westerlies are the Permanent winds that blow in the middle latitudes.
    • The winds that change their direction with onsets of different seasons are called seasonal winds.
    • Variable winds are those winds which blow in a small area and are related to the pressure systems.
    • Mesoscale winds are better known as local winds or regional winds. These wind channels extend over long distances around the Earth.
