Question

List the factors on which the severity of the cyclone depends.

Answer 1

Answer:

The factors on which the severity of cyclone depends are:

• Warmer sea surface with temp in excess of 26-27 degree celsius.
• High relative humidity in atmosphere upto height of about 5000 metres.
• Atmospheric instability that encourages formation of massive cumulus clouds due to condensation of rising moist air.
• Presence of higher rate of cyclonic vorticity ( rate of rotation of air).
• Location over ocean, over 4-5 degree latitude away from equator.
• Lower pressure in oceanic area.
• Increase in wind speed.

Answer 2

Answer:

The factors on which the severity of cyclone depends are:

Warmer sea surface with temp in excess of 26-27 degree celsius.

High relative humidity in atmosphere upto height of about 5000 metres.

Atmospheric instability that encourages formation of massive cumulus clouds due to condensation of rising moist air.

Presence of higher rate of cyclonic vorticity ( rate of rotation of air).

Location over ocean, over 4-5 degree latitude away from equator.

Lower pressure in oceanic area.

Increase in wind speed.
