Insights and Reflections #5: El Niño
Today I learned that El Niño is defined by prolonged differences in Pacific Ocean Sea surface temperatures when compared with the average value.
The accepted definition is a warming or cooling of at least 0.5 °C
(0.9 °F) averaged over the east-central tropical Pacific Ocean. Typically,
this anomaly happens at irregular intervals of 3–7 years and lasts nine months
to two years.
I will apply my learning about El Niño in my everyday living for me to
become aware about what is happening around me.
Learning
about this phenomenon is important because if ever this will occur and we know
what it is, we can easily overcome and be prepared about this.
On a
larger scale, I will share my learning about this phenomenon to others because
I want them to be knowledgeable about El Niño and its effects to us.
I need to know more about El Niño because it is one of
the phenomenon that may caused drastic effects to us and our environment.
