What Is It?! El Niño are unusual warm temperatures occurring in the equatorial Pacific, La Niña are unusually cold temperatures in the equatorial Pacific. El Niño are unusual warm temperatures occurring in the equatorial Pacific, La Niña are unusually cold temperatures in the equatorial Pacific. NOAA. Retrieved May 10 th

Conditions Of El Nino & La Nina For El Niño easterly trade winds become weaker and can even reverse direction. The Pacific Ocean becomes stationary or pushes eastward and gains heat. For La Niña the Easterly Trade Winds strengthen. The winds blow the warm water towards the west and cold water below the surface pushes up towards the South American coast Accuweather. nina/ nasa.gov NASA Retrieved May 14 th and 17 th nina/ nina/38971

They last ________ El Niño lasts about one year, It starts at the end of one winter and ends a year later at the end of that winter. (Ex. Starts at the end of winter in 2009 Ends at the winter in 2010) La Niña lasts about 9-12 months, some have been reported to last 2 years. Yahoo!

That’s Going to Leave A Mark… In 1977 El Niño raged on for eight months killing two thousand one hundred people and costing 21 billion U.S. Dollars.
