A The wind in the Pacific blows from the east B The equatorial regions become hotter and hotter C The sun is closest to the equator D The winds weaken and sea levels drop Question 44: The first extensive study of the El Nino phenomenon took place A in 1992 B in 1500s D during 1987 C from 1997 to 1998 Question 45: What is the benefit of monitoring the weather in the Pacific?
