Assertion (A):

Reason (R):
Coriolis force is maximum over the equator.
(a) Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not correct explanation of A.
(b) Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of A.
(c) (A) is false, but (R) is true.
(d) (A) is true, but (R) is false.
The correct answers to the above question in:
Answer: (d)
Hurricanes are unable to form along the equator because of the zero Coriolis Effect at 0 latitude, which is the force required for the spinning motion of these violent storms.
One of the necessary environmental conditions for an atmospheric disturbance to become a full-blown hurricane is for the rough weather conditions to occur at least 300 miles away from the equator.
The Coriolis Effect, which increases from the equator to pole is the apparent force that tends to move rotating objects to the right.

Question : 1
The South-East trade winds are attracted towards the Indian subcontinent in the rainy season due to
a) the effect of easterlies
b) the development of cyclone over the equator
c) the presence of low atmospheric pressure over NorthWest India
d) the effect of Northern-East trade winds
Answer »Answer: (c)
During the Rainy Season in India (Mid-June to the end of September), the intense heat that prevails in the Indian subcontinent causes a low-pressure region over the Northern Plains in the Northwestern parts of the country. It is intense enough to attract the moisture-bearing winds from the Indian Ocean.
Thus, the south-east trade winds from the Southern Hemisphere are attracted towards India. On crossing the equator, they are deflected to their right and blow over the Indian subcontinent as the south-west monsoon winds.

b) 1 only
c) Neither 1 nor 2
d) Both 1 and 2
