Question

27 which statement correctly compares el nino to la nina? a el nino causes high ocean tides, while la nina causes low ocean tides. b el nino causes cooler ocean waters, while la nina causes warmer ocean waters. c el nino causes warmer ocean waters, while la nina causes cooler ocean waters.

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the definitions of El Niño and La Niña. El Niño is a climate pattern with warmer-than - average ocean waters in the central and eastern Pacific. La Niña is the opposite, with cooler - than - average ocean waters in those regions.

• Option A is incorrect because El Niño and La Niña are related to ocean temperature, not tidal levels.
• Option B has the descriptions reversed.
• Option C correctly states that El Niño causes warmer ocean waters and La Niña causes cooler ocean waters.

Answer:

C. El Nino causes warmer ocean waters, while La Nina causes cooler ocean waters.
