How does El Niño change the earth's climate?
It changes the direction of prevailing winds, which changes the direction of ocean currents, which changes where warm water is carried, which heats air
How do prevailing winds affect ocean currents?
Prevailing winds affect the direction of ocean currents.
Is a city at 5° N going to be colder than a city at 45° S
Yes
In normal years, prevailing winds tend to blow __ to ___ at the equator
East to West
How could one city be warmer than another city if they're on the same latitude
There's a warm ocean current starting from the equator transferring energy to one of the cities
Changes to prevailing winds affect ___. Changes to ocean currents affect how much ___ is brought to (or taken away from) a location.
ocean currents, energy
___ and the ___ determine the direction of ocean currents.
prevailing winds, position of continents
Energy transfers from ___ substances to ___ substances. ___ currents transfer energy to ___ air, and ___ air transfers energy to ___ currents.

When an __ comes from a pole, it brings __-than-expected water to the places it passes, and that water is __ than the nearby air
ocean current, colder, colder
When an ___ comes from the equator, it brings __-than-expected water to the places it passes, and that water is ___ than the nearby air.
ocean current, warmer, warmer
An __ may have more than one ___; these may be linked into a chain of __ and ___.
