| With reference to Tropical Cyclone consider the following statements: |
| (i) A Tropical Cyclone is a warm core vortex circulation of tropical origin with small diameter often of an approximately circular shape |
| (ii) They occur only in oceanic area where the sea temperatures exceed \[27{}^\circ C.\] |
| Which of the statements given above is/are correct |
A) Only i
B) Only ii
C) Both i and ii
D) neither i nor ii
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
[c] Tropical Cyclone: A system of low pressure occurring in tropical latitudes characterized by its very strong winds; found mainly in Indian Ocean, Indonesia, and Australia. Tropical Disturbances are classified into three parts: [a] A Tropical Depression is a system within few isobars and the wind speed is 33 knots or 61 kms and it lacks a marked circulation, [b] A Tropical Storm is a system with several closed isobars and a wind circulation of 115 kms. [c] A Tropical Cyclone is a warm core vortex circulation of tropical origin with small diameter often of an approximately circular shape; they occur only in oceanic areas where the sea temperatures exceed\[27{}^\circ C\].
