Question

question 13 1 pts atm and ocean circ: normal oscillations which of the following is true about the conditions in a normal (non - el nino year)? upwelling is prevented by warm water warm surface water is found along the coast of peru rain is abundant on the western side of the equatorial pacific ocean a high pressure system is dominant near australia

Explanation:

In a non - El Nino year, in the equatorial Pacific, trade winds push warm surface water westward. This leads to upwelling of cold water along the coast of Peru. The western side of the equatorial Pacific has warm water, which causes abundant rainfall there. Warm water near Australia is associated with low - pressure systems, not high - pressure systems near Australia in normal years.

Answer:

Rain is abundant on the western side of the Equatorial Pacific Ocean
