How shifting ocean temperatures reshape our global environment
In short: This lesson explores the mechanics of El Niño and La Niña, two opposing climate patterns. It explains how these cycles drive significant environmental changes across the globe.
These phenomena are characterized by abnormal surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean, which influence weather patterns on a global scale.
By understanding these shifts, students can better describe how ocean-atmosphere interactions impact diverse ecosystems and climates.
