El Nino

El Nino Definition | GradesUp.gg

A worldwide climate change, caused by an increase in the Pacific Ocean’s temperature

Real World Example

Imagine you're in a crowded room where someone turns up the thermostat, making everyone feel uncomfortable and causing a ripple of changes as people start removing jackets and opening windows. Similarly, El Niño is like turning up the thermostat of the Pacific Ocean, which causes a chain reaction of climate changes around the globe. Just as the increased temperature in the room prompts everyone to adjust their behavior, the warmer Pacific Ocean temperatures during El Niño disrupt weather patterns worldwide, leading to unusual climate effects such as heavy rains in some areas and droughts in others.
