← GeographyWhich outcome affects global heat distribution because of El Niño?
A)Trade wind pattern disruption✓
B)Increased phytoplankton photosynthesis rates
C)Decreased volcanic activity globally
D)Accelerated glacial recession locally
💡 Explanation
El Niño causes a trade wind pattern disruption across the Pacific due to changes in atmospheric pressure and ocean temperatures; therefore, ocean currents change, rather than localized, seismic, or biological processes changing globally because it centers on the Walker circulation.
