Which of the following is not a characteristic change associated with El Nino conditions? Pacific upwelling along the Peruvian coast weakens trade winds weaken a high pressure develops in the western Pacific ITCZ shifts further north tilted towards perpendicular to tilted away from parallel to On a map produced with a cylindrical projection (such as the Mercator projection), the shortest flight path is shown as a straight line between: any two points on the equator any two points on the arctic circle Portland, Oregon and Cairo, Egypt Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and Capetown, South African (Ctrl)Explanation / Answer
1. ITCZ shifts further north
The El Nino condition is associated with weakening of upwelling along the peru coast due to weakened trade winds which is a result of developement of a high pressure system over the western Pacific. The shifting of ITCZ further north is not associated with this phenomenon.
2. Perpendicular to
Equinoxes are times when there are equal hours of day and night. Spring and autumn equinoxes are both indication of equal day and night hours which is possible when earth's axis of rotation is perpendicular to the Suns rays making the rotation only factor on determining the length of day.
3.Rio de Janeiro,Brazil and Cape town, south Africa
A map with cylindrical projection such as mercator projection shows the shortest distance between two points as a straight line. But this line does not necessarily follow the shortest actual distance between two points, as Mercator’s map can falsely make the shortest distance between two points seem much longer than the compass line joining them.
