  1. Geosphere

  2. Stratosphere

  3. Troposphere

  4. none of above

Correct Option: C

Cyclones are mainly caused by

  1. High-speed wind

  2. Diferential air pressure

  3. Uneven heating of land

  4. All of the above

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The cyclone is the circulating mass of air that rotates around the center of low atmospheric pressure. It is caused due to uneven heating of the land. The uneven heating of land causes the difference in the air pressure and causes the strong flow of wind from high pressure to low pressure.

So, the correct answer is option D.
