1. During El Niño, the coast of Peru and other adjoining regions are directly influenced by the Humboldt current that flows along the coastline of Peru.
2. During La Niña, waters off the Pacific coast are colder and contain more nutrients than usual. This environment supports more marine life and attracts more cold-water species.
3. El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) affects monsoon patterns intensively leading to the change in crop production and crop productivity especially for crops that lie on the equatorial (tropical) belt will be affected by varying monsoon patterns.
