Which ocean outcome results during intense El Niño?

💡 Explanation

El Niño causes suppression of normal coastal upwelling via changes in trade winds and ocean temperature gradients; therefore, nutrient-rich cold water ceases to rise, rather than the intensification of the thermohaline cycle, which is related to density gradients and deep water formation.

• What increased geomorphological process results when vegetation is removed from an alluvial floodplain?
• Which effect occurs when extensive grassland is overgrazed within a loess deposit region, exposed to seasonal wind?
• Which outcome occurs when hydraulic gradient decreases abruptly?
• Which outcome arises when sediment accumulates rapidly on an alluvial fan at a tectonic basin margin?
• Which risk increases when a megathrust earthquake deforms the seafloor during seafloor displacement?
• Which outcome develops a tombolo formation connecting island?
