Question

Floods and droughts are found to increase with each passing year. The main reason is pollution. Polluted air with temperature higher than the normal atmospheric temperature creates low pressure regions, due to which the air from the high pressure regions flows fiercely to fill the gap, thus causing a lot of destruction.

If we pollute the coastal region, the frequency and power of cyclones ______.

• A. Decreases
• B. Increases
• C. Remains same
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Increases

If the coastal region is polluted by burning more fossil fuels, then the temperature increases due to which the air becomes warmer than the surroundings, creating large pressure differences between the land and the sea. Due to this the frequency and power of cyclones increases.
