Question

Cyclones become very destructive in area of Bay of Bengal during early November because of _________.

• A. high temperature conditions
• B. heavy rainfall
• C. low pressure conditions
• D. high humditiy conditions

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

low pressure conditions

During winter season land areas become cold and adjoining ocean surface becomes comparatively hot. So low-pressure centers develop in the ocean and the winds started blowing from surrounding high pressure to low pressure areas. As it comes to the low-pressure center, it gets warm and rises up. For this mechanism, devastating cyclones originated in the Bay of Bengal during October to early November.
