what are the advantages and disadvantages of el nino phoenomena?

There are no advantages or disadvantages, it's just a short term weather cycle.  It's like asking what's the advantage to rain?  It you're asking, it doesn't influece global warming or any crap like that.

Taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seasons\n\nThe ultimate cause of the seasons is the fact that the Earth's axis is not perpendicular to its orbital plane; it deviates by an angle of approximately 23.5 degrees of arc. Thus, at any given time during the summer or winter, one part of the planet is more directly exposed to the rays of the Sun. This exposure alternates as the Earth revolves in its orbit. At any given time, regardless of season, the northern and southern hemispheres experience opposite seasons.\n\nSeasonal weather fluctuations also depend on factors such as proximity to oceans or other large bodies of water, currents in those oceans, El Niño/ENSO and other oceanic cycles, and prevailing winds.\n\nIn the temperate and polar regions, seasons are marked by changes in the amount of sunlight, which in turn often cause cycles of dormancy in plants and hibernation in animals. These effects vary with latitude, and with proximity to bodies of water. For example, the South Pole is in the middle of the continent of Antarctica, and therefore a considerable distance from the moderating influence of the southern oceans. The North Pole is in the Arctic Ocean, and thus its temperature extremes are buffered by the presence of all that water. The result is that the South Pole is consistently colder during the southern winter than the North Pole during the northern winter.\n\nThe cycle of seasons in the polar and temperate zones of one hemisphere is opposite to that in the other. When it is summer in the Northern hemisphere, it is winter in the Southern hemisphere, and vice versa, and when it is spring in the Northern hemisphere it is autumn in the Southern hemisphere, and vice versa.\n\nIn the tropics, there is no noticeable change in the amount of sunlight. However, many regions (famously the northern Indian Ocean) are subject to monsoon rain and wind cycles. Curiously, a study of temperature records over the past 300 years (David Thompson, Science, April 1995) shows that the climatic seasons, and thus the seasonal year, are governed by the anomalistic year rather than the tropical year.

Yes, definately better.\n#1.) It keeps many other people off the lake.\n#2.) Fish cannot see you as well because of water disturbance so presentation isn't as critical.\n#3.) Barometric pressure is lower thus exerting less pressure (pounds per square inch) on fish....this means they can come shallow more comfortably.\n#4.) Rain water washes food sources into the water (worms especially) creating a feeding opportunity.\n#5.) what else is there to do on a crappy rainy day?\nJust my thoughts......tight lines!!

One benefit is that they create more land in some cases, as in Hawaii. The lava pours into the ocean, cools, and eventually become productive land.

It is not a place.  It is an atmospheric phenomenon.  It is a periodic weather pattern that results in more severe weathe patterns than normal.  This usually means heavier winds and rains during the season.\n\nIt is NOT an ocean current, although ocean currents are the reason weather patterns persist.\n\nThe pattern is not exactly repetitive, so it cannot be particulary predicted with any accuracy.  While some try, no one can really say that we are in an "El Nino" westher pattern until we are well in one.

advantages - more workers etc.\ndisadvantages - more people with less space (the cities expand onto the agricutlural land) and more food (agricultural products, for more people) have to be produced on the smaller space of land. in general, more people with less space for food. also the more people create more pollution.\n\nhope that helped! xox good luck!

el nino is a "season" which occurs every four (?) years to tropical countries.  and it gets really really hot ... kinda like a drought.\n\nla nina is its counterpart.  there would be frequent rain showers then.

Generally, yes.  The closer you are to the equator, the warmer the climate is.

In Iceland, a country in the North Atlantic, they use thermal energy to heat their homes as well as a lot of other things. Look up Iceland on the Internet. Advantages are that it has no negative effects on the earth's environment. Disadvantages may be costs of harnessing but that should be reconfirmed. The costs of finding oil and getting it up to the surface may be just as high plus we are polluting the planet which has an incalculable cost.

The topic is very vast. You could try this strategy: select major countries along the Equator, like Brazil, Equador, African countries, etc. and find information on these countries: agriculture, people, etc. This will help you find all the information you need. \n\nTry also these links, if you want:\n\nClimate and vegetation : http://www.scalloway.org.uk/clim9.htm \nhttp://www.meteorologyclimate.com/Equatorial-climate.htm\n\nDisasters: http://www.unescap.org/mced2000/pacific/background/disasters.htm\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equator
