Hi all - Dave from terracycles has registered and will be discussing items with us shortly. I was just reading his site - he states as reason for the El Nino cycle: As the Sun and Moon appear to rise over the Pacific large volumes of water are pulled against the American Coasts. As the Sun and Moon appear to set in the West large amounts of water are pulled against the South Pacific Islands and Asian countries causing a repetitious pulsing and stretching of the Pacific Plate. The Western Pacific Plate is being pushed under the Asian Continent and the Nazca Plate (Eastern Pacific) is being pushed under the South American Continent by this daily pulsing. (Bathymetric and topographical maps) The increase in ocean level from melting glaciers and ice caps is accelerating the process. The added instability causes earthquakes and volcanic action, ultimately bringing more heat to the troposphere and accelerating this cycle of glacial melting.
