# El Niño and La Niña ## Definitions **El Niño**: A climate pattern where unusually warm ocean water develops in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean (near South America). This occurs when trade winds weaken, allowing warm surface water to move eastward. **La Niña**: The opposite pattern, where unusually cold ocean water develops in the eastern tropical Pacific. This occurs when trade winds strengthen, pushing more warm water westward and bringing cold, deep water to the surface in the east. ## Worked Example: Australian Rainfall **Normal conditions**: Australia typically receives moderate rainfall from moisture-bearing winds from the Pacific. **During El Niño**: - Warm water shifts east (toward South America) - Rainfall follows the warm water eastward - **Result**: Australia experiences drought conditions with below-average rainfall **During La Niña**: - Cold water in the east pushes warm water west (toward Australia) - Rainfall shifts westward with the warm water - **Result**: Australia experiences above-average rainfall and potential flooding *Example*: The 2010-2011 La Niña event brought intense rainfall to eastern Australia, leading to severe flooding in Queensland, while the 2019 El Niño contributed to drought conditions that worsened the Australian bushfire season.
