Question 1
1 / -0

How has advanced technology helped to prepare better for the Cyclone ?

A
Satellites and Radars can help to issue Cyclone Warning nearly $$48 \ hrs$$ before the cyclone hits the place

B
Help messages can be broadcasted every hour or every half an hour when a cyclone is nearer to the coast.

C
Songs can be played on radio to keep stranded people entertained

D
Both A and B

Solution

The advanced technologies, satellites and radars help us by giving a Cyclone alert, $$48 \ hrs$$ in advance of any expected storm and a Cyclone warning is issued $$24 \ hrs$$ in advance. The message is broadcasted every hour or every half an hour when a cyclone is nearer the coast.

Hence both options A and B are correct
Question 2
1 / -0

By what name is Cyclone known in North America ?

A
Typhoon

B
Tornoid

C
Hurricane

D
Flood
Solution
A cyclone is known by different names in different parts of the world.
It is called a ‘hurricane’ in the American continent.
In Philippines and Japan, it is called a ‘typhoon’.
So option C is correct.
Question 3
1 / -0

The sea breeze is caused due to the low pressure generated over

A
Land

B
Sea

C
Air

D
Both A and B

Solution

During, the daytime when the air above the land gets heated up, the air molecules absorbs the heat and the intermolecular forces between the air molecules become weak and its kinetic energy increases. The air molecules move apart and become less dense and they become lighter and rises up. This creates a low-pressure zone on land and thus cold air from the sea rushes from sea to land and thus creates sea breeze.
So, the correct answer is option B.
Question 4
1 / -0

The sea breeze is conducted due to the creation of high pressure on the

A
Land

B
Sea

C
Air

D
None of the above

Solution

During, the daytime when the air above the land gets heated up, the air molecules absorbs the heat and the intermolecular forces between the air molecules become weak and its kinetic energy increases. The air molecules move apart and become less dense and they become lighter and rises up. This creates a low-pressure zone on land and high pressure on above the sea thus cold air from the sea rushes from sea to land and creates sea breeze.
So, the correct answer is option B.
Question 5
1 / -0

Which of the following area is created over land during land breeze?

A
High pressure

B
Low pressure

C
Low temperature

D
All of the above

Solution

During, the daytime when the air above the land gets heated up, the air molecules absorbs the heat and the intermolecular forces between the air molecules become weak and its kinetic energy increases. The air molecules move apart and become less dense and they become lighter and rises up. This creates a low-pressure zone on land and thus cold air from the sea rushes from sea to land and thus creates sea breeze. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
Question 6
1 / -0

The wind blows from

A
High pressure to low pressure

B
Low pressure to high pressure

C
Low temperature to high-temperature

D
All of the above

Solution

The wind blows due to the pressure difference. It blows from the high-pressure region to the low-pressure region.
Question 7
1 / -0

By what name is a cyclone known in Asia ?

A
Hurricane

B
Typhoon

C
Tornoid

D
Flood

Solution

In the Western Pacific near Asia, people call tropical cyclones as "typhoons."
Question 8
1 / -0

When high speed wind blows, an umbrella held upright sometimes get upturned. The reason being

A
High speed wind creates a high pressure zone above and below the umbrella.

B
High speed wind creates a low pressure zone above and high pressure zone below the umbrella.

C
High speed wind creates a low pressure zone below and high pressure zone above the umbrella.

D
None of these.
Question 9
1 / -0

High speed winds at a place result by

A
Increased pressure

B
Reduced pressure

C
Water vapour

D
Static electricity

Solution

We know air flows from region of higher pressure to region of lower pressure.

As the pressure of an area reduces, wind speed increases because air from surrounding region of high pressure flow to this region of low pressure.

Thus, High speed winds at a place are due to reduced air pressure at that location.
Question 10
1 / -0

Air exerts pressure in

A
Downward direction only

B
Upward direction only

C
Sideways only

D
All directions
