Where does the El Niño current flow?

  • A.The Pacific Ocean
  • B.The Indian Ocean
  • C.The Bay of Bengal
  • D.More than one of the above

Answer: A

El Niño is in the Pacific Ocean.

El Niño is the periodic warming of the surface waters of the central and eastern tropical Pacific, off the coast of Peru and Ecuador, when the usual cold Peru current weakens. It affects weather worldwide and often weakens the Indian monsoon.

The Indian Ocean has its own pattern, the Indian Ocean Dipole, and the Bay of Bengal is part of the Indian Ocean; El Niño itself is a Pacific phenomenon.
