Typhoon

B
Willy-Willy

C
Hurricane

D
Cyclone

A
there is a clear weather

B
there may be a slow wind

C
there may be storms and strong winds

D
none of these

Solution

Atmospheric pressure acts as an indicator of weather conditions. Sudden decrease in atmospheric pressure of the earth shows that there may be storms and strong winds. Sometimes it can cause rain also.
Question 7
1 / -0

During thunderstorm lightning is seen first and thunder is heard later on. Why?

A
First light and then sound is produced

B
Light travels faster than sound

C
Sound travels faster than light

D
Sound becomes feeble due to strom

Solution

During a thunderstorm, lightning is seen first and thunder is heard later on because light travels faster than sound. Lightning always comes with thunder. If you see a lightning flash but cannot hear any thunder, the thunderstorm is most likely be quite far away from you. The thunderclap must have been deflected up the sky. The longer the sound travels, the more it will be deflected away from the ground.
Question 8
1 / -0

Figure shows a child
blowing air with a straw near the opening of another straw which has its other and in a soft drink bottle. It was observed that the level of the soft drink in the straw rises up as soon as air is blown over its open end. Which one of the following best explains the reason for rise in level of the drink?

A
Blowing of air decreases pressure over the opening of the straw.

B
The straw of the soft drink bottle collapses when air is blown over in open end.

C
Blowing of air warms up the air inside the straw.

D
Blowing of air increases the pressure on the surface of soft drink in the bottle.

Solution

As we know that the high speed winds have low pressure because winds flow from high pressure area to low pressure area and when they are reaching low pressure area their pressure would eventually decrease as they are going to the low pressure area to create the balance and hence their speed also increases at the path.
When we blow air it gets distributed and hence it’s pressure decreases and the speed of it’s travelling increases due to the energy of blow.
Question 9
1 / -0

Which of the following place is most likely to be affected by a cyclone?

A
Mumbai

B
Puri

C
Goa

D
Porbandar

Solution

As we know that East coast is more likely to face cyclones with great speed(intensity) and number of cyclones than the west coast and except Puri all other places are in West coast and Puri is in East coast.

1 / -0

Which one of the following place is unlikely to be affected by a cyclone.

A
$$Chennai$$

B
$$Mangaluru (Mangalore)$$

C
$$Puri$$

D
$$Amritsar$$

Solution

Only Amritsar is located far away from the coastal area, all the other places namely Chennai, Mangaluru and $$Puri$$ are located near the sea. So Amritsar is unlikely to be affected by a cyclone
