S K Jain and Shailesh K Jain Solutions for Chapter: Winds, Storms and Cyclones, Exercise 5: Chapter Based Formative Assessment

The fact that high wind speeds cause reduced air pressure is known as

During a thunderstorm, do not take shelter under _____. Choose from (umbrella/ building).

High-speed winds are accompanied by increased air pressure.

With an increase in altitude, both density and pressure of air decrease.

The region from where the air rises, an area of low pressure is created.

Wind currents are generated due to uneven heating on the earth.

A cyclone is formed by a very high-pressure system with very high-speed winds revolving around it.
