What is the definition of El Nino?

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Stratosphere		outermost layer of the atmosphere, where satelites orbit
Exosphere		90-300km, hottest layer
Thermosphere		50-90km, coldest layer
Troposphere		ozone and airplanes
Mesosphere		layer nearest the Earth, where weather happens

precipiation

condensation

transpiration

evaporation

jet stream

poles

equator

prime meridian

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Warm fronts		bring violent storms that are followed by fair, cooler weather
Stationary fronts		bring rain and showers followed by warmer more humid weather
Cold fronts		usually produce light rain or other precipitation
Occluded fronts		often bring many days of almost continuous precipitation
