Question

The cloud region around the eye of the cyclone is characterized by:

• B. high-speed winds
• C. thick clouds with heavy rain
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C)

The correct options are
B high-speed winds
C thick clouds with heavy rain

The centre of a cyclone is a calm area called the eye. It is a region free of clouds and has light winds. Around this calm and clear eye, there is a cloud region of about $150km$ in size. In this region there are $high-speed$ $winds$ and $thick$ $clouds$ $with$ $heavy$ $rain.$ Away from this region the wind speed gradually decreases.

So Option B and C are correct.
