A climate event in the eastern Pacific Ocean in which the surface waters are colder than normal.
La Nina
counter clockwise
Coriolis effect
The molecules slow down and move closer together, increasing the water’s density.
They create unusually warm climates for the latitude.
near the equator
near the poles
El Nino
How do warm-water currents affect the coastal areas along which they flow?
La Nina
counter clockwise
Coriolis effect
The molecules slow down and move closer together, increasing the water’s density.
They create unusually warm climates for the latitude.

Where do cold water currents generally begin?
La Nina

El Nino
A change in the surface water temperature in the Pacific Ocean that produces a warm current.
La Nina

El Nino
The apparent curving of the path of a moving object from an otherwise straight path due to the Earth’s rotation.
