- El Nino is a phenomenon that leads to weakening of trade winds in a region.
- During El Nino, the sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean near the Equator become warmer than usual, which affects the atmospheric circulation and leads to weakening of trade winds.
- Trade winds are the prevailing easterly winds that blow towards the Equator in the tropics, and they are important for navigation and weather patterns.
Additional Information
- Coriolis force is a phenomenon that influences the direction of winds and ocean currents, but it does not directly lead to weakening of trade winds.
- Mango Shower is a meteorological phenomenon that occurs in some parts of India during the pre-monsoon season, and it is not related to trade winds.
- La Nina is a phenomenon that is opposite to El Nino, and it leads to strengthening of trade winds in a region.
- Hence, the statement "Presence of which phenomenon leads to weakening of trade winds in a region?" is correctly answered by option 3, El Nino.
