Base your answers to questions 1 through 4 on the passage and cross section below and on your knowledge of Earth science. The cross section represents a generalized region of the Pacific Ocean along the equator during normal (non-El Nio) conditions. The relative temperatures of the ocean water and the prevailing wind direction are indicated.El Nio Under normal Pacific Ocean conditions, strong winds blow from east to west along the equator. Surface ocean water piles up on the western part of the Pacific due to these winds. This allows deeper, colder ocean water on the eastern rim of the Pacific to be pulled up (upwelling) to replace the warmer surface water that was pushed westward. During an El Nio event, these westward-blowing winds get weaker. As a result, warmer water does not get pushed westward as much, and colder water in the east is not pulled toward the surface. This creates warmer surface ocean water temperatures in the east, allowing the thunderstorms that normally occur at the equator in the western Pacific to move eastward. A strong El Nio is often associated with wet winters along the northwestern coast of South America and in the southeastern United States, and drier weather patterns in Southeast Asia (Indonesia) and Australia. The northeastern United States usually has warmer and drier winters in an El Nio year.Compared to non-El Nio years, which climatic conditions exist near the equator on the western and eastern sides of the Pacific Ocean during an El Nio event?The western Pacific is drier and the eastern Pacific is wetterThe western Pacific is wetter and the eastern Pacific is drier.The western and the eastern Pacific are both wetter.The western and the eastern Pacific are both drier
