What is an ENSO event and what conditions contribute to its occurrence? What effect does an ENSO
event have on the global environment, and how does it manage to have such far-reaching impacts? What will be an ideal response?
Concepts to Consider: ENSO events result from a weakening of the trade winds due to the buildup of
warm water in the western tropical Pacific, which then spreads to the East Pacific. An ENSO event
changes global atmospheric circulation patterns, resulting in unusual weather in many areas. In
addition, these events result in decreased productivity in ocean areas off western North and South
America and change the distribution of various marine organisms in these areas.
