Question

Cyclones are created mostly by warmer winds and not by cooler winds because:

• A. Warmer wind is denser than cooler wind.
• B. Warmer wind rises up quickly.
• C. Cooler wind rises up quickly.
• D. Warmer wind moves slowly than cooler wind.

Answer 1

The correct option is B Warmer wind rises up quickly.

Warmer wind is lighter and more active than cooler wind because of the higher temperature of warmer wind. Due to this, the warmer wind rises quickly from the ground thus creating a low pressure region below. Air from the surrounding rushes to occupy this space which eventually becomes warm. These are some initial stages of a cyclone formation.
