Wind, Storm and Cyclone

Tube of a bicycle gets inflated when the air is filled with it. This happens because air exerts pressure. Air exerts pressure because it is a matter and occupies space and has mass. Since, air is a mixture of different molecules they are pushed together causing pressure with each other.

Yes, it is correct. The tilt of the earth causes sunlight to hit the equator at a more direct angle than it hits the pole, adding more energy to the air near the equator and thus heating it more.

This happens because high speed wind creates an area of low pressure. Due to this, the thatched roof is sucked up and finally gets blown away. Thus, increase in wind speed is associated by decrease in air pressure.

Yes, it is the correct answer. Only b is incorrect. In coastal areas, the land warms up faster than the ocean surface.

Yes, the air which is warm rises upwards creating an area of low pressure near the surface. This is filled in by cooler air from the land. This gives rise to the land breeze.

Yes, the flow of moist air from the ocean towards land in summer, annually over a larger area  is called Monsoon or Monsoon wind. Monsoon winds carry water vapour which falls over the land in the form of rain after cooling down.

Yes, it is correct. When boiled water is filled in the water bottle and its mouth is closed,  followed by cold water being poured over it, the bottle gets distorted. This happens because air inside the can gets condensed and creates low pressure. The high pressure from outside distorts the shape of the bottle.

Yes, it is the correct answer. All the factors are responsible for creating a cyclone.

Yes, tornadoes are the very fast moving dark clouds in the shape of a funnel. The speed of violent tornadoes may be up to 300km. Tornadoes are as destructive  as cyclones. Tornadoes may form within cyclones.

Yes, it is the correct answer. The eye of a cyclone is a calm area, but around the eye air may move with high speed, being the area of very low pressure, eye of cyclone lifts water in the centre.

Yes, the actual wind would be equal to the geostrophic wind when there is no friction. Geostrophic wind  is the theoretical wind, that would result from an exact balance between the coriolis effect and the pressure gradient force.

Yes, Cyclones create several dangers for people living around tropical areas. The water of a storm surge rushes inland with deadly power, flooding low-lying coastal areas.

Yes, wind is controlled by a combination of forces:

(a) The pressure-gradient force (PGF), which is the horizontal pressure difference

(b) The coriolis force, which is due to the rotation of earth

(c) Friction

Yes, all are correct.

Yes, both a and c are incorrectly matched. Cyclone is known as HURRICANE in the American continent. Cyclone is known by different names in different countries, it is known as TYPHOON in Philippines and Japan.
