El Nino

El Nino can be shown as a measurement tool to measure the temperature of ocean water. Also, an el nino is the warming of different parts of the ocean. The opposite of this is la nina. This is the cooling of the ocean water. An el nino usually takes place in the pacific ocean.

These two pictures are examples of an el nino. The red and white represent high temperatures and the blue and purple resemble the low temperatures.

When the temperatures are warmer, this has a postitive effect on fishers because when the temperature is warmer the bigger the fish population.
