One characteristic of an El Niño event is . a. thermohaline circulation ceasing in the Pacific
b. formation of Antarctic Bottom Water ceasing
c. low atmospheric pressure intensifying over the eastern Pacific
d. downwelling occurring in the central Pacific
e. high atmospheric pressure intensifying over the eastern Pacific

During an El Niño event, the surface waters in the central and eastern Pacific Ocean become significantly warmer than usual. ... It also reduces the upwelling of cooler, nutrient-rich waters from the deep—shutting down or reversing ocean currents along the equator and along the west coast of South and Central America.

Explanation:

d

explanation:

step 1 ammonium can be absorbed by plants, but some is converted into nitrates which are better for plants to absorb. this is called nitrification. 2. step 2 the deer eats the plants and uses the nitrogen-containing proteins for cell growth. 3. step 3 bacteria in the soil conduct nitrogen fixation to convert nitrogen gas from the atmosphere into ammonium. 4. step 4 some of the nitrates are absorbed back into plants, but denitrification breaks down the nitrates into nitrogen gas released back into the atmosphere. 5. step 5 nitrogen is found in the urine, which gets broken down into ammonium through the process of ammonification. 6. step 6 plants absorb the ammonium and begin assimilation, the process to add the nitrogen to protein.
