The correct answer is Warm waters move eastward, making coastal South America warmer. El Niño is a natural, periodic warming of the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean, which affects weather patterns around the world. The warming of the ocean leads to changes in atmospheric circulation, resulting in altered rainfall patterns and temperature extremes in many regions. In particular, El Niño often leads to increased rainfall in parts of South America, as well as warmer temperatures and droughts in some parts of Asia and Australia.
