El Niño and La Niña are opposite phases of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycle. El Niño involves unusually warm waters in the eastern Pacific, while La Niña features unusually cold waters. These phenomena impact weather worldwide by affecting wind and rain patterns. During El Niño, the western U.S. tends to be wetter and cooler, while Australia and Indonesia experience drought. La Niña has opposite effects, with wetter conditions in Australia and Indonesia and drier weather in the western U.S. Scientists monitor these cycles using ocean buoys and satellites to improve predictions of their development and impacts.

Oceans are a vast body of salt water that covers almost three to fourths of the earth's surface.
Seas are smaller, found on the margins of the ocean and are partially enclosed by land.
Seawater:
High density, high heat capacity, colder, salty and slightly compressible (its volume decreases under pressure), thus its density increases with pressure.
Why is Ocean Circulation Important?
•Similar to winds in the atmosphere, they transfer significant amounts of heat from equatorial areas to the poles and thus play important roles in determining the climates of coastal regions.
•The ocean circulation pattern exchanges water of varying characteristics, such as temperature and salinity
•ocean currents and atmospheric circulation influence one another.
•in addition, they transport nutrients and organisms
Climate change refers to seasonal changes over a long period of time.
Worldwide, people are paying serious attention to climate change.
Because so many systems are tied to climate, such as, people, plants and animals live, such as food production, availability and use of water, and health risks.

El Niño is a naturally occurring event in the equatorial region which causes temporary changes in the world climate.
Originally, El Niño was the name used for warmer than normal sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of South America.
Now, El Niño has come to refer to a whole complex of Pacific Ocean sea-surface temperature changes and global weather events.
The ocean warming off South America is just one of these events.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

1. El Niño & La Niña
PowerPoint Presentation Prepared By:
Clarence Marollano & Princess Jarme
2. EL NIÑO-SOUTHERN OSCILLATION (ENSO) CYCLE.
El Niño and La Niña are opposite phases of what is known as the El
Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) cycle.
The ENSO cycle is a scientific term that describes the fluctuations in
temperature between the ocean and atmosphere in the east-central
Equatorial Pacific (approximately between the International Date Line
and 120 degrees West).
La Niña is sometimes referred to as the cold phase of ENSO and El
Niño as the warm phase of ENSO. These deviations from normal surface
temperatures can have large-scale impacts not only on ocean processes,
but also on global
3. El Niño and La Niña episodes typically last nine to 12 months, but
some prolonged events may last for years. They often begin to form
between June and August, reach peak strength between December and
April, and then decay between May and July of the following year. While
their periodicity can be quite irregular, El Niño and La Niña events occur
about every three to five years. Typically, El Niño occurs more frequently
than La Niña.
4. What is El Niño?
• El Niño means The Little Boy, or Christ Child in Spanish.
• El Niño was originally recognized by fishermen off the
coast of South America in the 1600s, with the appearance
of unusually warm water in the Pacific Ocean. The name
was chosen based on the time of year (around December)
during which these warm waters events tended to occur.
• The term El Niño refers to the large-scale ocean-
atmosphere climate interaction linked to a periodic
warming in sea surface temperatures across the central
and east-central Equatorial Pacific.
5. • Typical El Niño effects are likely to develop over North
America during the upcoming winter season. Those include
warmer-than-average temperatures over western and
central Canada, and over the western and northern United
States. Wetter-than-average conditions are likely over
portions of the U.S. Gulf Coast and Florida, while drier-than-
average conditions can be expected in the Ohio Valley and
the Pacific Northwest.
6. El Niño, warmer than average waters in the Eastern
equatorial Pacific (shown in orange on the map), affects
weather around the world.
7. The First Signs of an El Niño:
• Rise in air pressure in the Indian Ocean, Indonesia, and
Australia.
• A fall in air pressure over Tahiti and the rest of central and
eastern Pacific Ocean.
• The trade winds in the South Pacific weakened or headed east
• Warm air rises in Peru
• Warm water spreads from the West Pacific and the Indian
Ocean to the East Pacific. It takes the rain with it, causing
rainfall in normally dry areas and drought in normally wet
areas.
8. El Nino is a climate pattern that describes the unusual warming of surface
waters along the tropical west coast of South America. This diagram illustrates
the eastward movement of winds across the Pacific in red.
9. The Effects of El Niño:
• Wet winters over south-eastern United States
• Drought in Indonesia and Australia, and other places that are
typically wet
• Flood in South America in areas that are typically dry
• Wildfires and mudslides
• Warmer weather in the upper Midwest states and Canada
10. El Nino events
prevent the process
of upwelling—the
movement of cold,
nutrient-rich water
to the surface—off
the coast of Peru,
Ecuador, and Chile.
This can have a
devastating impact
on local economies.
11. El Nino events often result in unusual and destructive weather patterns. The
normally arid climate of the tropical South American coast, for instance (here,
in Chile) may experience floods and landslides during El Nino events.
12. El Nino events can also impact the western Pacific Ocean. Typhoon Winnie,
above, hit Taiwan and China during a powerful El Nino event in 1997. Typhoon
Winnie killed more than 200 people and caused more than $1 billion in
damages.
13. Australia is often plagued by drought during strong El Nino events. Here, Lake
Alexandrina, a large lake in southern Australia, is almost dried up.
14. How Well Can We Predict El Niño?
• Satellite readings from buoys strategically set
in the Pacific Ocean
• Complex computer models
15. What is La Niña?
• La Niña means The Little Girl in Spanish.
• La Niña is also sometimes called El Viejo, anti-El Niño, or
simply “a cold event”.
• La Niña episodes represent periods of below-average sea
surface temperatures across the east-central Equatorial
Pacific. Global climate La Niña impacts tend to be opposite
those of El Niño impacts. In the tropics, ocean
temperature variations in La Niña also tend to be opposite
those of El Niño.
• During a La Niña year, winter temperatures are warmer
than normal in the Southeast and cooler than normal in
the Northwest
16. La Niña is caused by a build-up of cooler-than-normal waters in the tropical Pacific, the
area of the Pacific Ocean between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.
Unusually strong, eastward-moving trade winds and ocean currents bring this cold
water to the surface, a process known as upwelling.
17. The First Signs of a La Niña:
The first signs of an emerging La Niña event are often observed in the
ocean. The Bureau of Meteorology monitors and reports on a range
of ENSO indicators, including:
• Short-term bursts of tropical rainfall activity
• Water temperatures at the sea surface and at depth
• Ocean heat content – measuring the amount of energy stored in
the ocean
• The Southern Oscillation Index
• Atmospheric air pressure
• Cloudiness – measuring the amount of cloud in tropical regions
• The strength of the trade winds and winds higher in the
atmosphere ocean currents
18. The weather pattern known as La Nina brings warmer-than-normal sea-surface temperatures (in red) to the southern
Pacific Ocean around northern Australia, New Guinea, and the islands of Indonesia. The cooler sea-surface temperatures
of La Nina (in blue) occur in the southern Pacific off the coast of South America.
19. The Effects of La Niña:
• Rain clouds form as a result of the uplift of warm, moist air.
• Monsoon seasons will be more intense in a La Nina year.
• Western equatorial portions of South America may be
in drought conditions.
• In the United States, Washington and Oregon may see
increased precipitation.
• Portions of California, Nevada, and Colorado may see drier
conditions.
20. A group of scouts uses a disassembled cardboard box as protection against a
heavy rainstorm in Semarang, Java, Indonesia. La Nina events often bring
wetter-than-normal weather to Indonesia, northern Australia, and Malaysia.
21. How can we detect La Niña?
• The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA), for instance, operates a network of buoys which
measure sea-surface temperature, air temperature, currents,
winds, and humidity. The buoys are located in about 70
locations, from the Galapagos Islands to Australia. These
buoys transmit data to researchers and meteorologists every
day. Using buoy data in conjunction with visual information
they receive from satellites, scientists are able to more
accurately predict ENSO and visualize its development and
impact around the globe.
22. El Niño vs. La Niña
