This disrupts normal weather patterns, influencing regions along the Pacific Coast of North and South America. During an El Ni\u00f1o event, the Pacific Coast may experience increased rainfall and warmer temperatures than usual, which can lead to flooding, droughts, and wildfires. The phenomenon is part of a larger cycle known as the El Ni\u00f1o-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), which also includes the cooler counterpart, La Ni\u00f1a, which brings different weather effects.","mcq_options":[{"right":"yes","answer":"El Ni\u00f1o"},{"right":"no","answer":"Tornadoes"},{"right":"no","answer":"Monsoons"},{"right":"no","answer":"Typhoons"}],"multi_answers":"no","subject_terms":[{"id":1846,"title":"Geography of the United States","slug":"geography-of-the-united-states"}],"topic_terms":[{"id":1859,"title":"Coastline of the United States","slug":"americas-coasts"},{"id":1862,"title":"Pacific Coast","slug":"pacific-coast"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq\/13177","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/mcq"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3502"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13177"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13177"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic?post=13177"},{"taxonomy":"subject","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/subject?post=13177"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
