Explanation:

El Niño is primarily associated with changes in Pacific - oceanic temperatures. It causes warmer - than - normal sea surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific. This can lead to changes in atmospheric circulation patterns. During El Niño, there are fewer hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean due to increased wind shear, and more in the Pacific Ocean. It is mainly related to ocean - atmosphere interactions in the Pacific, not the Atlantic. Changes in Pacific oceanic temperatures are a key driver, not just changes in Pacific atmospheric pressure.

Answer:

C. El Niño is caused by changes in Pacific oceanic temperatures.
D. El Niño leads to more hurricanes forming in the Pacific Ocean.
