Question

Organize the following stages of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) warm phase into chronological order. In a severe warm phase, fisheries' productivity on the west coasts of the Americas is dramatically reduced. Which stage of ENSO would come just before this fisheries collapse?

Answer 1

El Niño (very warm currents of water, La Niña(very cool currents of water) and Neutral, that can occur from autumn to spring next year in the pacific ocean between South America and Australia. In a severe warm phase ( known as El niño stage) is when fisheries' productivity decreases due to warm waters arriving the west coast and lowering the quality of the fish.
