$$2-3\ km$$

B
$$10-15\ km$$

C
$$50-60\ km$$

D
$$100-200\ km$$

Solution

High-speed winds and air pressure differences can cause cyclones. A large cyclone is a violently rotating mass of air in the atmosphere, 10 to 15 km high. The diameter of the eye varies from $$10$$ to $$30\ km$$.
Question 3
1 / -0

Which of the following statement is correct regarding the eye of the cyclone?

A
It is an area of high pressure

B
It is an area of low pressure

C
It has high-speed winds

D
It has lots of clouds

Solution

The eye is an area of calm weather in the center of strong tropical cyclones. The cyclone's lowest barometric pressure occurs in the eye.
Question 4
1 / -0

Which of the following is not true about the Eye of Cyclone ?

A
It is the center area of the cyclone which is calmer

B
The diameter of the eye varies from 10 to 30 km

C
It is a region full of clouds and has heavy winds

D
It is a region free of clouds and has light winds

Solution

The centre of a cyclone is a calm area. It is called the eye of the storm. The diameter of the eye varies from 10 to 30 km. It is a region free of clouds and has light winds.
Question 5
1 / -0

Which of the following are not associated with cyclones?

A
Heavy rains

B
Tidal waves

C
Strong winds

D
Volcanic eruptions

Solution

Volcanic eruptions are not associated with cyclones as the other three are features of a cyclone.
Question 6
1 / -0

Which of the following is a natural disaster?

A
Storm

B
Cyclone

C
Flood

D
All of the above

Solution

A natural disaster is a major adverse event resulting from natural processes of the Earth; examples include floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, and other geologic processes.
Question 7
1 / -0

Which of the following is not a precaution to be taken in times of a storm ?

A
Seek shelter in a car or a bus

B
Seek shelter under an umbrella with a metallic end

C
In case of being caught in water, getting inside a building

D
In case of being in a forest, seeking shelter under a tree.

Solution

In case of storm to stay safe you should seek shelter in a closed structure like a car or bus.You can go inside building in case there is lot of water outside.You can also go below a tree in case you are in a forest.
But seeking shelter under an umbrella with a metallic end is not recommended as Lightning can travel through any metal because lightning is electricity and electricity tends to flow through metallic materials.So it is not safe to seek shelter under an umbrella.
Question 8
1 / -0

Thunderstorms usually develop in which areas in India ?

A
Commercial, residential and industrial areas

B
Hot, humid and tropical areas

C
Forest, pastures and grazing lands

D
Coastal areas

Solution

Tropical revolving storms form over warm tropical waters towards the hot and humid season and Thunderstorms are formed by the uplifting of warm and humid air.
Question 9
1 / -0

Why are thunderstorms observed in hot areas ?

A
The high temperature leads to more evaporation, more cloud formation and heavy rainfall.

B
The hot areas have warm air currents in lower part of atmosphere, which lead to heavy rainfall in the area.

C
The high temperature produces upward rising winds, that carry water droplets with them and results in heavy rainfall accompanied by a lightning.

D
None of these

Solution

Thunderstorms happen when there is strong warming at the Earth’s surface, creating an unstable atmosphere. That hot surface air rises, cooling as it does so, creating clouds and fueling heavy rain.
Question 10
1 / -0

How are monsoon winds formed?

A
The air over the land gets heated and rises. This causes the winds to flow from the oceans towards the land, which gives rise to Monsoon winds.

B
The pressure difference in adjoining areas gives rise to air movement which leads to formation of Monsoon winds

C
Air that is warmed up near the Equator, moves towards each pole causing the Monsoon winds to blow.

D
None of the above

Solution

The air over the land gets heated and rises. This causes the winds to flow from the oceans towards the land. These are monsoon wind.
