What is El Nino?

El Nino is a climate pattern characterized by warm sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean.

How often does El Nino occur?

El Nino typically occurs every 2-7 years.

What causes El Nino?

El Nino is caused by the weakening or reversal of the trade winds in the Pacific Ocean.

What are the effects of El Nino?

El Nino can cause droughts, floods, and other extreme weather events in various parts of the world.

What is the opposite of El Nino?

The opposite of El Nino is La Nina, which is characterized by cooler sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean.

How long does El Nino last?

El Nino typically lasts around 12 months.

How does El Nino affect the fishing industry?

El Nino can cause disruption to the fishing industry, as it can lead to changes in the distribution and abundance of fish populations.

What parts of the world are most affected by El Nino?
