We know that the see-saw of air pressure on opposite ends of the Pacific occurs periodically, every two to seven years. We have observed that sometimes the event is more severe and at other times not so bad. Warm moist air has less air pressure than dryer cool air. Explain why the trade winds blow in that direction. Which statement best explains how winds affect warm water.
Winds cool off warm water.
Winds blow warm water because it is on the surface. Winds cause a change in air pressure, cooling the surface water.
