El Nino However, every few years, a few key events happen, leading to the formation of an El Nino: 13. The trade winds (which carry warm water to the Western Pacific) either slow down or reverse completely, allowing for: a. Warm water to collect over the Eastern Pacific b. More cold water to collect over the Eastern Pacific 14. In turn, this allows for the collection of warmer, rising air, thus pressure to build in the Eastern Pacific. b. Higher a. Lower c. Same As in Neutral Phase. 15. On the other hand, because the trade winds slacken, there is warm water present over the Western Pacific. a. More b. Less 16. Therefore, there is less warm air in the Western Pacific, resulting in pressure and weather. a. Lower; Wetter b. Higher; Wetter c. Higher; Drier d. Lower; Drier
