Question 3 of 5
3. Question
Which of the following statement best describes ‘Doldrums’?
Correct
Solution: b)
Doldrums, also called equatorial calms, equatorial regions of light ocean currents and winds within the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ), a belt of converging winds and rising air encircling Earth near the Equator. The northeast and southeast trade winds meet there; this meeting causes air uplift and often produces clusters of convective thunderstorms. They occur along the Equator in the Indian and western Pacific oceans and slightly north of the Equator off the African and Central American west coasts.

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
Consider the following statements.
- The speed of wave in the ocean depends upon the depth of water.
- The speed of wave is more in the ocean deep than in shallow water.
- The impact of tsunami is less over the ocean and more near the coast.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Solution: c)
The speed of wave in the ocean depends upon the depth of water. It is more in the shallow water than in the ocean deep. As a result of this, the impact of tsunami is less over the ocean and more near the coast where they cause large-scale devastations.

Solution: c)
The speed of wave in the ocean depends upon the depth of water. It is more in the shallow water than in the ocean deep. As a result of this, the impact of tsunami is less over the ocean and more near the coast where they cause large-scale devastations.

Question 5 of 5
5. Question
Which of the following are the conditions for the emergence of a tropical cyclone?
- Large and continuous supply of warm and moist air.
- Strong Coriolis force
- Strong vertical wind
- Unstable condition through the Troposphere
Select the correct answer code:
Correct
Solution: b)
Some initial conditions for the emergence of a tropical cyclone are:
(i) Large and continuous supply of warm and moist air that can release enormous latent heat.
(ii) Strong Coriolis force that can prevent filling of low pressure at the centre (absence of Coriolis force near the equator prohibits the formation of tropical cyclone between 0°-5° latitude).
(iii) Unstable condition through the troposphere that creates local disturbances around which a cyclone develops.
(iv) Finally, absence of strong vertical wind wedge, which disturbs the vertical transport of latent heat.
