Read the passage given below and answer the question a, b, c, and that follow:

La Nina is an atmospheric phenomenon when the equatorial waters of eastern

Pacific Ocean turn unusually cold. It is the opposite of El Nino when the eastern
waters are warmer than usual. Both events create the greatest global impact in
winter time. La Nina The Little Girl has enormous adverse effect globally
since showing itself in mid-2010. La Nina and its equally unruly relative, El Nino,
occur when the waters of the eastern and central Pacific Ocean along the
equator become uncommonly cold or warm. These changes in the Pacific bring
forth changes in atmospheric pressure, winds, temperature, and rainfall that
have a worldwide influence. These conjugated with changes in the ocean and
atmospheres are jointly called the El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO). For India,
an El Nino is of grave concern as it negatively affects the south-west monsoon.
La Nina, on the contrary, is frequently advantageous for the monsoon,
particularly in the second half. The La Nina that happened in the Pacific in 2010
possibly assisted last years south-west monsoon in its last half advantageously.
Yet, it also brought in the flood in Australia, which turned out to be one of worst
natural disasters with large regions of the north-east under water and also
caused similar mayhem in south-eastern Brazil and actively caused the heavy
rains and accompanying deluging in Sri Lanka. The impact of ESNO is obviously
aggravated by global warming The Indian Ocean is warming quickly. We can
already observe the glimpses of the sinister influence of a La Lina of the rising
warming along with the increase in temperature of the western Pacific. In all
probability the increased ocean temperature might have influenced the weather
associated issues in the past few months. In spite of the beneficial aspects of the
La Nina that evolved in mid-2010 to the south-west monsoon, the high
temperature of the tropical Indian Ocean may have impeded a more evenhanded
distribution of rainfall in some of the northern Indian states. The warming up of
the Indian Ocean and western Pacific almost certainly supplied the additional
moisture and energy for the inordinately heavy rains that Australia and Sri Lanka
went through. That might be the cause for the excess of rain India the north-east
monsoon which, as is commonly witnessed, checked by a La Nina. From this it
possible conclude that the climatical changes brought ushered by agents like
ESNO will be aggravated by the global warming rendering severe weather
phenomena such as droughts and floods more regular. a. Give the meaning of
