Q-9) The Mediterranean region is characterized by heavy rain in:
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
- During summer season, regions of the Mediterranean climate are dominated by subtropical high-pressure cells, making rainfall impossible or unlikely except for the occasional thunderstorm.
- During winter the polar jet stream and associated periodic storms bring heavy rain. Precipitation is heavier during the colder months.
Q-10) Consider the following statements:
- All cyclones develop an eye at the centre.
- The temperature inside the eye is nearly 10°C lesser than that of the surroundings.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
(a)
(b)
(c)
(d)
The eye is a region of mostly calm weather at the centre of strong tropical cyclones. The eye of a storm is a roughly circular area, typically 30–65 km (20–40 miles) in diameter. It is surrounded by the eyewall, a ring of towering thunderstorms where the most severe weather occurs.
The cyclone’s lowest barometric pressure occurs in the eye and can be as much as 15 per cent lower than the pressure outside the storm.
