Every few years, some of the trade winds that blow directly over the ocean weaken. What changes would be most likely to occur next Increasing ocean temperatures cause current speeds to increase. Ocean temperatures near the equator grow cooler and current speeds increase. Ocean temperatures near the equator grow cooler, causing heavy rainfall worldwide. The area of warm surface water near the equator increases in size and ocean currents slow or stop.

Increasing ocean temperatures cause current speeds to increase.

Explanation:

As the temperature of ocean increases, the speed of current is also increases because these currents stored more heat energy that leads to the increase in speed of ocean currents. Due to increase in global temperature, global ocean circulation has been increases since 1990s. The main reason for that is the increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere that increases the temperature of the environment so the speed of ocean currents also increases.

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
