Miacademy & MiaPrep Learning Channel

This educational video provides a comprehensive overview of the El Niño climate phenomenon, explaining its scientific mechanisms and its far-reaching global impacts. Hosted by a presenter named Justin, the video begins by distinguishing between weather and climate before diving into the specific atmospheric and oceanic conditions in the Pacific Ocean that create El Niño events. It uses clear animations to demonstrate how weakened trade winds and disrupted upwelling lead to warmer ocean temperatures and altered weather patterns.
