How does climate affect the natural vegetation of Latin America?

Answer 1

latitude, elevation, warm and cold currents and.... EL NINO!

El Nino is a warming of the ocean surface off the western coast of South America that occurs every 4 to 12 years when upwelling of cold, nutrient-rich water does not occur. It causes die-offs of plankton and fish and affects Pacific jet stream winds, altering storm tracks and creating unusual weather patterns in various parts of the world, and is one of the many factors that affect Latin Americas climate
