Re: Dynamic Planet B/C
Describe what is currently happening to the fisheries on South America’s west coast due to the irregular change in pressure systems that occur roughly every 3 to 8 years.

Re: Dynamic Planet B/C
El Nino occurs in which trade winds weaken and upwelling off the western coast of south American does not occur. Water is very warm and nutrient poor thus fishery productivity is lowbhavjain wrote:Describe what is currently happening to the fisheries on South America’s west coast due to the irregular change in pressure systems that occur roughly every 3 to 8 years.
