Question 1

Which of the following is most likely to be a characteristic of the 'eye' of a cyclone?

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is option(B).Eye of a cyclone is a region of mostly calm weather at the center of strong tropical cyclone. It is a roughly circular area. Here the winds are light with minimum barometric pressure, i.e., area of low pressure. Hence, Eye of cyclone is in an area of low pressure.

Question 2

What is a typhoon essentially called as?

Accepted Answer

A typhoon is basically same thing as a hurricane. Both are tropical cyclone - rapidly rotating storms. If storm form in Northwest Pacific, they are called &#34;Typhoons&#34;. Hence, a typhoon is essentially a cyclone.

Question 3

Which of the following plays an important role in the early-warning systems for cyclones?

Accepted Answer

A satellite is an artificial object which has been intentionally placed into an orbit. As satellites are able to take photographs and observes large areas of land all over the globe, hence they play an important role in early warning systems for cyclones.

Question 4

When a vehicle moves very fast a/an______it created temporarily behind it.

Accepted Answer

When wind flows very fast, low pressure is produced temporarily which is filled by the rushing wind nearby.

Question 5

While drinking a soft drink with the help of a straw the pressure in the straw is _____ and the pressure in the bottle is ________.

Accepted Answer

While drinking a soft drink with the help of straw the pressure in the straw is less and the pressure in the bottle is higher. When the air from inside the straw is sucked out, it creates a region of lower pressure inside the straw. As the pressure inside the bottle is more, the liquid is pushed upwards in the straw.

Question 6

Air pressure is also known as atmospheric pressure. How is it caused?

Accepted Answer

The pressure exerted by air around us is known as atmospheric pressure.If we imagine a unit area and a very long cylinder standing on it filled with air, then the weight of the air in this cylinder is the atmospheric pressure.

Question 7

High speed winds are accompanied by :

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is option(B).Winds move from a place of higher pressure to a place of lower pressure resulting in increase in the speed of winds. Accordingly, during storm the pressure becomes low due to which high speed winds prevail. also wind speed increases due to pressure gradient.Hence, high speed winds are accompanied by reduced pressure.

Question 9

The winds on the earth do not blow exactly from &#34;north to south&#34; or from &#34;south to north&#34; directions because:

Accepted Answer

The rotation of the earth from west to east(pulls) changes the north-south winds to northeast-southwest direction and the south-north winds to southeast-northwest direction.

Question 10

A thunderstorm is accompanied by :

Accepted Answer

A thunderstorm, also known as an electrical storm or a lightning storm, is a storm characterized by the presence of lightning and its acoustic effect on the Earth's atmosphere, known as thunder.
