Question

Why is Chandigarh unlikely to be affected by a cyclone?

Answer 1

Cyclone in Chandigarh:

1. Chandigarh is unlikely to be affected by cyclones because it is not near the coast and has no sea or ocean nearby and is surrounded by other states.
2. Cyclones form around coastal places because there are water bodies nearby to start the process, and the temperature of that water body must also be appropriate to develop the cyclone.
3. However, the intensity of the cyclone decreases as it moves on the land further inwards from the coast to inlands. So, when it reaches Chandigarh which is around 2500 km, the cyclone would have died out.
