Explanation:

El Nino is the name for the climate phenomenon during which seawater surface temperature rises to the level of normal for a few months. This happens in the part of the Pacific Ocean whose name is the El Nino-Southern Oscillation, which includes the Pacific coast of South America.

This can last from 9 to 12 months, but sometimes it goes on for more than a year. The phenomenon has been happening for more than a thousand years.

The average time for El Nino to occur is around 4 years, but it varies anywhere between 2 or 7 years.

This occurrence affects weather patterns, and with this, it also affects fishing and agriculture, mostly around the near countries, but sometimes it is felt even wider.

the arab empire adopted the muslim religion as their main belief. arabs would influence the people from the territories they invaded towards islam (the muslim belief).

nevertheless, throughout the history of the arab empire, rulers brought intellectual individuals from other religions to their centers of learning. these other foreigners included jews, christians, greeks, persians, and indians.   these resulted in the adoption of important knowledge developed by these cultures by the arabic empire. for example, the works of aristotle were translated from greek to arab and indian scientists brought the numerical concept of "zero" to the arabs.

nowadays, 93% of the arab population is muslim, which at the same time is subdivided in sects including the sunni, zaini, alawi, shia. the remaining 7% is composed mainly of christians.
