Know what is El Nino

A marine phenomenon occurring in the region has been given the name of El Nino. It is seen on the west coast of South America in the coastal waters of Ecuador and Peru countries at an interval of a few years. This incident is an upheaval in the ocean. Due to this, the temperature of the surface water of the sea becomes higher than normal. When the water on the surface of the sea starts heating up, its effect is seen that it obstructs the water below the sea to come up. One of the biggest effects of El Nino is that it changes the main areas of rain.
