El Niño and La Niña Natalia Rodriguez-Ponce Science Shepard

What are El Niño/La Niña? Is when the surface area around the equator in the eastern and central Pacific warms for an extended period of time. Info: Copyright 2013

What conditions cause El Niño and La Niña? El Niño by inusual warm temperature. La Niña by inusual cold temperature. Info: copyright 2012 Picutre: copyright 2013

How long does El Niño and Niña last? 9 to 12 months. Info: Copyright 2013 Picutre:

When does this phenomenon happen? It is a year round cycle that happens every 3 to 7 years. Info: Copyright 2010 Picutre: copyright 2012

Unique information El Niño which in spanish in means the boy but not just any boy it got named after ‘’the christ child’’cause El Niño occured around christmas time. Info: copyright 2010
