Respuesta :

The correct answer to the given statement is : El Niño, because of strengthening of trade winds.

The El Nino-Southern Oscillation, or "ENSO," is a cyclical climatic phenomenon that occurs periodically across the tropical Pacific. El Nino and La Nina are the warm and chilly phases of it. Every two to seven years, the pattern alternates back and forth sporadically, causing predictable changes in ocean surface temperature as well as disruptions to tropical wind and rainfall patterns. These modifications have a wide range of negative side effects.

The typical air circulation across the tropical Pacific Ocean is strengthened by La Nina. A significant high pressure region in the Northeast Pacific is one of the adverse effects. This high pressure alters the path of storms as they move into the western United States, favoring rainy winters in the Northwest and dry winters throughout the South.
